to 1987 with physicist Archana Sharma in the Charpak Sauli Gas Detector Laboratory at CERN βοΈπ©π»βπ§ββοΈ
Today, Archana is a senior staff scientist in the CMS Collaboration and serves as Senior Advisor in the International Relations sector at CERN. At the time, she was working on Multiwire Chambers, a precursor to building the Gas Electron Multiplier detectors, upgraded and installed in the CMS Experiment at CERN.
The GEM detectors lit up with cosmic ray data for the first time last year:

CERN is and is again lightened up!π‘π
CMS just recorded splash events which happen when the path of beams is obstructed by one-meter-thick graphite or tungsten-alloy "collimator''. π₯
It basically acts as a wall against which the beam collides resulting in a spray of particles travelling further, passing through CMS as one huge "splash" of particles.ππ
It allows researchers to fine-tune the detector synchronization and to check that as many of the individual detector elements are working nominally. βοΈ
