Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) (CMS) University of Antwerp
The Compact Muon Solenoid, installed at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Geneva, is a multipurpose, nearly hermetic detector, designed to trigger on and identify electrons, muons, photons, and (charged and neutral) hadrons. A global ``particle-flow" (PF) algorithm aims to reconstruct all individual particles in an event, combining information provided by the all-silicon inner tracker and by the crystal electromagnetic and brass-scintillator hadron calorimeters, operating inside a 3.8 T superconducting solenoid, with data from the gas-ionization muon detectors embedded in the flux-return ...
