Abstract
In a short-term research project at CERN, an auditory display of
elementary particle tracks has been developed. Data stems from
simulations of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) in ALICE experiment.
Particle detection there is based on pattern recognition
algorithms, but is still today double checked with visualization
tools. The sonification works with cluster data of the TPC and
was designed in analogy to the physics behind the measurement
device. Thus it is possible to listen directly to the otherwise silent
detector.
