- Certain types of particle detectors can be used to reconstruct the tracks left by unstable, fast-moving sub-atomic particles. Assume that a track with a length of L=2.97 mm in the laboratory frame of reference has been observed. Further assume that you determined from other detector data that the particle moved at a speed of L=0.910 ⚫ c, also in the laboratory frame of reference. c denotes the speed of light in vacuum.
