Calorimetry, High Energy Physics

Scientific paper

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the new CERN accelerator that will provide proton proton collisions at √ {s} = 14 TeV. It will have two dedicated experiments: Alice, to study heavy ion collisions, and LHCb, to study b physics, and two general purpose experiments: Atlas and CMS. The LHC is an explorative machine to search for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the Standard Model. Calorimeters play a crucial role in these searches. In particular the electromagnetic calorimeters are fundamental in the search for the Higgs boson, depending on the mass range, either in the two photon decay channel or in the four leptons channel. Hadron calorimeters are important for super-symmetric particles searches where jets and missing transverse energy are expected. We present a review of the LHC experiments calorimeters and their expected performance.
