Abstract

A substantial part of this chapter is based off of [1] for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and [2] for the A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS) detector.

Keywords

Large Hadron Collider Monte Carlo Atlas Detector Compact Muon Solenoid Electromagnetic Calorimeter 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
