First images of collisions at 13 TeV
I followed the links to the CMS, Atlas and other detectors that the images appear to be from but couldn't find any information on what these images actually mean. By reading the layman's descriptions (which I most certainly am) I assume that the images show where along the "surface", if there is such a thing, of the detector various particles were detected and the length of the bars show either how much energy the particle(s) have or the density of particles at that point.<p>Is there anywhere I can go to get a more detailed description of these without delving into academic papers that I have no hope of understanding?
