Collection: punchthrough

by sisifolibre

"looks a lot like a jet of muons. Some Beyond the Standard Model theories predict such jets, so it would be amazing to find one" " not a muon jet, but something we call a 'punch-through'. This is caused by a very high energy particle bursting into a shower of particles when it hits the outer parts of the calorimeter. If the shower then 'punches through' to the muon detector, it triggers the sensors and reports a large number of muons when they weren't really any muons there." https://talk.higgshunters.org/#/boards/BHH0000007/discussions/DHH00001o1
