2023 Departmental Poster Competition

The large hadron collider (LHC) situated at CERN, Geneva is the world's most powerful accelerator which is used to study particle physics through proton-proton collisions at energy scale of TeV. The inelastic proton collisions produce other elementary particles which are studied through specialized detectors. The Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL) is one such detector designed to detect hadrons and measure their energy. Hadrons are the bound states of quarks. High energy quarks produce an avalanche of such hadrons, which are collectively called jets. The formation and detection of jets, working of HCAL, and the study of raw pulses received by HCAL will be presented.
