What’s the Motivation ?What’s the Motivation ?
Try to make sense of the way the Universe worksLook for simple explanations to complicated looking observations !
ComplicationThere is lots of different “stuff” on earth
Simplification
Small indivisible “Atoms”There are many different kinds of atoms
Elements (Periodic Table)There are lots of elements
Nucleus (protons, neutrons) and electrons
We can make “other” stuff (not made of protons neutrons and electrons)
Everything madeout of quarks & leptons
We don’t really understand this at afundamental level (Standard Model has
too many free parameters) Smash More Atoms !

We’d like to give them lots of kinetic energy (lets say 10 GeV)
This can’t provide enough energy(only a few million volts) !
Need bigger voltage (and a vacuum system) !!

The PartsThe Parts
Solenoid (Magnet)
(Makes charged particles curve,which tells us their momentum)
Calorimeter to measure theenergy of neutral particles.
High density…particles often stop here.
Vertex Detector to measure theposition of charged particles close totheir point of creation.
Drift Chamber to measure the path of charged charged particles.
Low density…mostly gas…so particles don’t notice it much.

All of the parts work more or less the same way:
Charged particles ionize the material they pass through, and we can detect signs of this ionization.

Photons are produced in the plastic by scintillating molecules when a cosmic ray muon whizzes through it. These photons are detected by a photo-multiplier tube, and result in pulses on the oscilloscope.
