They say material possessions don't bring you happiness, but being sent parts of the CMS detector sure comes close 😁
This one is part of the endcap if I'm not mistaken. It's a silicon strip detector, basically a few 100 very long PIN diodes that help with identifying and tracking particles of all sorts!
It will definitely get a nice frame and end up on my wall. Thank you so much @diminDima !
