Update on the Hadron calorimeter of the CMS Experiment at CERN.

The construction and assembly of the Hadron Calorimeter is now complete and commissioning is almost done. The hadron calorimeter inside the CMS detector is made of scintillator and copper absorber covering the |η| range of 0.0 to 3.0. The forward calorimeter, made of quartz fibers and iron absorber,...

Sumario:The construction and assembly of the Hadron Calorimeter is now complete and commissioning is almost done. The hadron calorimeter inside the CMS detector is made of scintillator and copper absorber covering the |η| range of 0.0 to 3.0. The forward calorimeter, made of quartz fibers and iron absorber, covers the |η| range of 3.0 to 5.0. Recent test beam effort is aimed at understanding of the performance of the Hadron Calorimeter in conjunction with the lead tungstate crystal Electromagnetic Calorimeter. Recent test beam results using production modules help us improve resolution. Work has started on several upgrade fronts for the high luminosity LHC.
