A neutrino traveling vertically collides with a neon nucleus in a rare reaction which produces two electrons, a positron, a muon, a K~meson, and several neutral pions.The K~ meson produced during the impact almost immediately decays in to a rr+7T-pair, and the neutral pions decay into pairs of gammas, which subsequently produce electron-positron pairs.This event was filmed during the LBL/FNAL/Hawaii/UC Berkeley/Wisconsin experiment 546, and above figure was traced from the photograph.XBL 785-914. The Computer Science and Applied Iv!athematics Department engages in research ina variety of computer science and mathematics disciplines.The Department staff includes computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, physicists, computer technicians, and administrative personnel.A balanced mix of projectoriented work and discipline-oriented research is supported by the Department of Energy and other federal and state agencies.vi Work in computer science and applied mathematics includes construction of data bases, computer graphics, computational physics and data analysis, mathematical modeling, and mathematical analysis of differential and integral equations resulting from physicial problems.
