How particle physics is visualized

In summary, the speaker is struggling with a new assignment in their physics class that requires them to describe how invisible particles are rendered in visible images. They have tried searching for information online but have been unsuccessful. They ask for suggestions or ideas from anyone who may know a proper term or place to search for this information. They mention finding the "Bubble chamber" as a potential solution, but acknowledge that it has some drawbacks. They end by asking for help with the assignment.

Hey,

I hope you are all dong well and that i am in the right place. I am not at all that good at physics. I am taking a physics class in school because i thought it was interesting. And I find it more interesting now.

My problem: My new assignment requires that I describe how invisible particle are rendered in images visible to the human eye.

Im not sure where to start with my search. I have googled "how particle physics is visualized" for example and other but I get bad results. Is there a proper term of place of interest i could dig through?

thank you for your time

OK so i have found my best solution. The "Bubble chamber" it helps visualize certain particles for physicists to photograph, but with a lot of disadvantages.

any one with useful ideas?

i really need help with this please =(
