Software:Tracer detector display
Tracer is web-based detector display application [1] for for the Atlas experiment, the largest, general-purpose particle detector experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. The application is written in JavaScript and utilities the Three.JS Web Graphics Library to create 3 dimensional view of the ATLAS detector and loadable collision events stored in the form of the XML files. The application allows clipping detector geometry, and slicing it in different ways.

The application was divided on several components, such as:
- TracerCORE - Core module of the 3-Dimensional Visualization of the ATLAS detector
- TracerEVD - 3-Dimesional Event Display Application
- TracerTCAL - 3-Dimensional Interactive Display of the Tile Calorimeter
- TracerART - Augmented Reality Table enables to put detector on the discussion table
Here is an example of a proton-proton (pp) collision event created for public display by the CERN collaboration. The application can visualize the detector parts, as well as relevant objects (calorimeter clusters, charged tracks) created during the collision of high-energetic protons at 13 TeV centre-of-mass collision energy.
