RE: How onions have inspired particle physicists to design their detectors
Hello @lemouth
...Like onions , they are organized into layers, and each layer has a different role...
It is surprising to know that the structure of onion old motivate construction of something as complex as detectors. This is quite a huge feat.
I am not quite knowledgeable on the workings of a typical detector, hence this is an eye opener for me. Maybe be further research maybe necessary for me to come to terms with the whole concept. However, I appreciate this.

Thanks for passing by!
I am not really sure the onion was the initial motivation. I guess the comparison appears afterwards. However, I have no information with this respect, unfortunately. Thus dates from before my time :)
Alright. The pleasure is mine✌️
The CMS experiment's blog is called the Cylindrical Onion so we've definitely embraced it, though :)
I didn't know that this was existing. That is a great choice :)
