Quenching your thirst for data on the CERN collider firehose The why and how we’ll sift through 34 TB/s of CMS HGCAL collision data to turn the LHC into a vector boson collider

Abstract:
In 2030, the LHC will start delivering an order of magnitude more high-energy proton-proton collisions for another decade. To withstand the harsh radiation environment, the CMS Collaboration will upgrade its detectors, including the construction of a silicon and scintillator high-granularity calorimeter. This novel detector with 1000 m2 of active area will provide precise 5D snapshots of space, time, and energy of particle showers in its volume every 25 ns.
We will discuss why we are building this detector, the physics reach it opens, and the challenges still ahead. And yes, also why so many hexagons.
