The positive lambda has a quark composition udc, and a lifespan of 2 x 10 minus 13 seconds. When this particle is created in a collision, inside a modern detector, how long will its track be? At near the speed of light, its lifetime would allow it to traverse less than a tenth of a millimeter. But, then, time dilation would extend that.
Additionally, are there any images available of the track of this particular particle, in either old bubble chamber photos, or modern digitally generated images from modern detectors?
