We see collision detector images showing a lot of curved lines radiating out more or less from the central area. We hear that literally thousands of scientists the world over process and resolve these images and get information from them. How is this done? How can the mass of a particle be determined? How can a specific particle and/or its predecessor and successor particles be identified from these lines, as opposed to all the other particles it might be?
