CMS-HCAL instrumentation | High energy physics project | Microscopic characterisation of Hybrid Photo Diode

This repository hosts the resources I created/found while working on a research project in the Department of High Energy Physics at TIFR in Mumbai, India. In this project I studied the radiation damage in a Hybrid Photo Diode that was decommissioned from the Hadronic Calorimerer of CMS detector.

Directories

assignments

If you are working on CMS-HCAL, doesn't matter if it is theory or instrumentation, you should go through the assignments folder. These "assignments" were a part of my training for this project. I spent almost 3 to 4 months on learning about the instrumentation of CMS-HCAL. This is to say that there's a lot of informative stuff that you should know about CMS-HCAL in these presentation files.

I have not organised the files of this directory ever since I finished this project in January 2019. You are likely to find the useful presentation file (there's only one such file) in /assignments/main_presentation_1 directory. It's very long -- ~ 100 slides. I can't confirm the file name because I'd have to open the files to see and Libre Office doesn't like .pptx files. I should have exported them to pdf.

Naming of the files is as follows:

  • ho refers to the Outer HCAL
  • hb: HCAL Barrel
  • 2006: CMS Note 2006/127, as far as I can remember

Unfortunately, I have lost the references I used.

data

This folder contains SOME of the data and the analysis code that I used in this project. I generated the data but I did NOT write the code. I just made some changes in the code to make it work with my data.
