Question about origin of green lines

  • DiNapoli by DiNapoli

    In this particular case do I see a bundle of 3 muons or something else at 5 o'clock? The lines/trails have the same green clour but there's no detection In the outer ring as a red rectangular like the other 2 lines at the left at 10 and 11 o 'clock. I'd like to assume a green colour of the particle trail can also mean it's another particle?

    Yes, sometimes normal tracks can also be drawn green if they happen to be attached to a vertex that has been labeled as green. It does not mean they are muons. Muons are drawn as longer (green) lines, extended into the muon system.
