Web-Based Cathode Strip Chamber Data Display

Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) is a detector that uses gas and high electric field to detect particles. When a particle goes through CSC, it will ionize gas particles and generate electric signal in the anode and cathode of the detector. Analysis of the electric signal data can help physicists to reconstruct path of the particles and determine what happen inside the detector. Using data display, analysis of CSC data becomes easier. One can determine which data is interesting, unusual, or maybe only contain noise.\nOld version of CSC display is a desktop-based application. It has to be run in a remote computer using X-Server. To run the software, one has to login to the remote computer and run the software from the computer. Major drawback of the old version of CSC display is the huge amount of data sent through the network cause it runs slowly.\nIn the new version of CSC display, one can access the software just by typing the URL, so does not need to login to the remote computer. Besides that, in the new version software, the graphic data is sent in PNG form, so it has far smaller size than the old version software.
