TRT Diagram
A possible Higgs event registered in the ATLAS Inner Detector which consists of Pixel detector, Silicon detector and TRT. Each dot in the TRT represents a “hit” from a detector sensor called a straw tube as a charged track traverses the detector. The lines represent reconstructed tracks from the hits, and the towers outside the TRT represent the energy deposited in a calorimeter. The four straight lines moving out from the TRT region are muons (m) from the decay of a Higgs boson candidate, namely H0->Z0Z0->m+m-m+m-.
