The CMS Hadron Calorimeter
● Accurately measure the energies of any hadrons
● Alternating layers of absorber/scintillator
→ Interactions with brass plates produce particle
showers
→ Plastic scintillators produce light
→ Photodetectors turn optical signals into electrical
ones

My Project
● HCAL Run Control system: allows user to monitor & configure the
subdetector software
● Interface either with human user or CMS central run control system
● Various upgrades needed: eliminating memory leaks, interface
improvements, etc.

Concerns
● Large and complex experiment = very large software base
● Lots of information to take in
