Very helpful, thank you. Do you know if they have the ability to plot the various events of the collision by time, such that the bar plots could be shown appearing one after another as collision events are recorded?
- mng2 11y agoI'm not familiar with the nitty-gritty of the LHC experiments, but in general the various detector subsystems have different response times and rate capabilities. There are certain types of detectors with explicit time granularity (e.g. time of flight) but for most detectors there would be no time structure within a single collision record ("event"). But you could work backwards to make an animation for each event. From a scientific perspective it's not that interesting though.
- ISL 11y agoI'd expected it to be trivial to hunt down some animated gifs, but to no avail. Here's a movie derived from an actual event that will give you a feel for things: http://www.atlas.ch/multimedia/proton-event.html http://www.atlas.ch/multimedia/proton-event.html CMS, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poNftWVbwmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poNftWVbwmM
- themodelplumber 11y agoWow, thank you. That CMS video is awesome! This really gives me more of a foothold on what is going on.
