Extreme close up near the inner vacuum beam pipe edge
Here we show a further close up section near the inner beam pipe wall. In this close up it is easier to see individual particle tracks. Many of these tracks are bent back before touching the beam pipe. Showers that are initiated by low energy particles (identified here by having a large incidence angles) do not penetrate very far.
