The summer after my freshman year at Yale, I worked under Tobias Golling in the Yale ATLAS High Energy Research Group. At CERN, particles are accelerated and collided in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), forming “jets” of subatomic particles. In these collision events, each particle gives off unique signatures, which are measured by calorimeters, spectrometers, and magnets in the detector.
