Abstract
The era of colliders in particle physics started in the 1960-ties and has developed from MeV to TeV energies. It increased our knowledge and understanding of physics laws in the subnuclear domain at distance scales of about \(10^{-18}\) m. There are two families of colliders: linear colliders, where particles are accelerated in opposite directions and brought to collision at one interaction point, and circular colliders, where two particle beams are accelerated in opposite directions in a ring-shaped accelerator, stored and collided in particular “interaction points”. The interaction point is surrounded by dedicated particle detectors comprised of several subdetectors using a range of technologies. The information recorded from all subdetectors is used for the measurement of energies and momenta of almost all particles created in a collision.
