This application uses three.js

Tracker:

Silicon and pixel detectors used to detect passage of charged particles

ECAL Barrel:

Central electromagnetic calorimeter; measures energy of electrons and photons

ECAL Endcap:

Electromagnetic calorimeters at either end of CMS for measurements close to the beam axis

HCAL Barrel:

Central hadronic calorimeter; measures energy of hadrons

HCAL Endcap:

Hadronic calorimeters at either end of CMS, close to the beam axis

HCAL Outer:

Hadronic calorimeter layer just outside the solenoid magnet

HCAL Forward:

Hadronic calorimeters farther down and very close to the beam axis

Drift Tubes (DT):

Central muon chambers outside the solenoid and HCAL Outer

Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC):

Forward muon detectors

Resistive Place Chambers (RPC):

Solid state muon detectors
