Introduction - 3D Plots

Intro: Making 3D plots of shower shapes

For each slice in which energy was deposited by the shower of particles, add up all the energy captured in its layers.
Make a 3 D plot of all these slices using color to indicate the amount of energy. Include the central collision point. The lengths and colors of the slices in the plot tell us which particle created the shower.
