The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is described. operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) CERN. It was conceived to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 nucleon-nucleon) and luminosities up 1034 cm−2 s−1 (1027 s−1). At core CMS sits high-magnetic-field large-bore superconducting solenoid surrounding an all-silicon pixel strip tracker, lead-tungstate scintillating-crystals electromagnetic calorimeter, brass-scintillator sampling hadron...
