[Particle] physicists use the term calorimeter for any device designed to measure energy. The three inner sections of [a] detector have given us information on the charged particles in [an] event, but the neutral particles, which make up a third or more of the total, are so far invisible. These finally make their mark in the liquid argon calorimeter, a hollow aluminum spool filled with pure liquid argon and stacks of lead plates. 2, record 2, English, - liquid%20argon%20calorimeter
