    Hi
    At 4:00 in this one there is an X shape, I keep coming across these and they are oftern highly symmetrical, are they actually a matched pair of particles?

    It's hard to say, from just one picture. I would mark it as a two-track vertex. We (scientists) can then analyze them all later and see if there is some statistically significant difference from what we expect from random background crossing (as determined in control data / simulations). Thanks!

    Many thanks
    I'll keep marking them then.
