For being built at CERN Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)
Hadron calorimeter designed end, as active
elements which uses scintillators with reradiating
fiber.

Electromagnetic calorimeter. Large 6x7 square meters comprising 3,300 units scintillators, fiber and lead. Is designed to measure the energy of particles at proton Coliseum. Photons, electrons and positrons will pass through the material and energy to keep track of.
