Calorimetry
In this 3D rendering of half of the detector, the blue calorimeter surrounds the inner tracking detectors. The electrons leave energy in the inner blue section, the electromagnetic calorimeter, and particles called hadrons leave energy in the outer blue section, the hadronic calorimeter. Hadrons are particles made of quarks. Muons leave only very little energy in both parts of the calorimeter.
