Can anyone direct me to a source of bubble chamber photos (Or other detectors)? I want one as a wallpaper, but need a certain cleanness for that, a two color PNG, ideally. Pic is the best I've gotten out of google images.

I can't remember the source but I have a few.

I thank you for the help, but I've gotten all of those from google images. I must stress that I'm looking for something clean, which I know is counter to the nature of what theyre generally detecting.

If it comes to it, I may just dive into the more advanced particle physics ahead of schedule and finish working out how to render images programatically so that I can produce one myself with some polar coordinate magic.

What you mean?

I'm sure you could find some based on turtles, though I haven't seen any which support creating/destroying turtles.

Maybe there's vector graphics libs.

Something with smooth curves and without extraneous details that occur, i.e. not a raw photo. Pic related - right side is cleaned up and has the background tracks removed. Pulled those from CERN's bubble chamber teaching site. Scouring that for individual bits, compiling them, enlarging them, and hitting them with AA might work too.

I was actually thinking of working it out manually. I've been going at learning to generate .bmp files via binary output, but I was doing it in c++ which doesnt have native support for non-char binary writes, which was giving me some trouble. I figured I'd develop my own algorithm to get me some nice thick lines, then use an image editor to do an anti-aliasing pass and convert it to .png.

Also bump.

Oh, also no fucking .jpg artifacts. Try to do any editing and those cunts ruin everything.

A final bump.
