I can't believe in this. What kind of calorimeters would they be? Do you mean that calorimeters with the dimensions of the individual particles like electrons have been constructed?
Why would they need to build detectors the size of individual particles? :bugeye: As far as I can remember the calorimeters don't have especially good spatial resolution, but that's not what they're designed for and they're not the only detectors available. Events are reconstructed from information collected from a number of different types of detector. The best spatial resolution probably comes from the trackers, which are designed to measure the trajectories of charges passing through them.
Information about how the detectors are arranged is readily available if you're really interested in it.
Here's an overview for DELPHI for example. You might also want to browse their
event gallery to get an idea of what reconstructed events look like.
This is just an speculation. You don't know how the differences really are.
But when
you speculate that the energies of particles at accelerators could be completely different than they are without anyone in the field ever noticing, that's OK, is it? :bugeye:
In any case you see differences just from the gallery I linked to above: they started seeing different events when they increased the energy. For example above 160 GeV or so you start seeing
W[sup]+[/sup]
W[sup]-[/sup] candidate events, which are kinematically impossible below that energy (the
W bosons have a mass of just over 80 GeV).
This is in agreement for example that with the fact that afterall nothing really new has been discovered at LHC.
What??? You didn't think they'd just flick the switch and start getting new results on day one, did you? Data is collected over a period of
years in this type of experiment, and relatively speaking the LHC is still in its early days of operation. It isn't even operating at full power yet. And even there, see
here: quark-gluon plasma, some hints of the Higgs, and a new particle.
My chances are getting better...
The Lorentz's factor in the electric and magnetic fields can change it all!
You are hopelessly deluded.
