FeatureThe DHCAL expansionNew additions to the Digital Hadron Calorimeter expand the perspective through which scientists may view hadron showers.
The Digital Hadron Calorimeter offers high-resolution images of particle showers. With the help of hundreds of thousands of readout pads, tiny pieces of each charged particle’s path within hadronic showers are recorded. The DHCAL brings scientists not only detailed images, but now also complete ones, having expanded its potential in recent months by tens of thousands of additional readout channels.
