The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is described. The detector operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It was conceived to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1) (10(27)cm(-2)s(-1)). At the core of the CMS detector sits a high-magnetic-field and large-bore superconducting solenoid surrounding an all-silicon pixel and strip tracker, a lead-tungstate scintillating-crystals electromagnetic calorimeter, and a brass-scintillator sampling hadron calorimeter. The iron yoke of the flux-return is instrumented with four stations of muon detectors covering most of the 4 pi solid angle. Forward sampling calorimeters extend the pseudo-rapidity coverage to high values (vertical bar eta vertical bar <= 5) assuring very good hermeticity. The overall dimensions of the CMS detector are a length of 21.6 m, a diameter of 14.6 m and a total weight of 12500 t.

The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC

The CMS apparatus was identified, a few years before the start of the LHC operation at CERN, to feature properties well suited to particle-flow (PF) reconstruction: a highly-segmented tracker, a fine-grained electromagnetic calorimeter, a hermetic hadron calorimeter, a strong magnetic field, and an excellent muon spectrometer. A fully-fledged PF reconstruction algorithm tuned to the CMS detector was therefore developed and has been consistently used in physics analyses for the first time at a hadron collider. For each collision, the comprehensive list of final-state particles identified and reconstructed by the algorithm provides a global event description that leads to unprecedented CMS performance for jet and hadronic τ decay reconstruction, missing transverse momentum determination, and electron and muon identification. This approach also allows particles from pileup interactions to be identified and enables efficient pileup mitigation methods. The data collected by CMS at a centre-of-mass energy of 8\TeV show excellent agreement with the simulation and confirm the superior PF performance at least up to an average of 20 pileup interactions.

Particle-flow reconstruction and global event description with the CMS detector

Author(s): Baer, Howard; Barklow, Tim; Fujii, Keisuke; Gao, Yuanning; Hoang, Andre; Kanemura, Shinya; List, Jenny; Logan, Heather E; Nomerotski, Andrei; Perelstein, Maxim; Peskin, Michael E; Poschl, Roman; Reuter, Jurgen; Riemann, Sabine; Savoy-Navarro, Aurore; Servant, Geraldine; Tait, Tim MP; Yu, Jaehoon | Abstract: The International Linear Collider Technical Design Report (TDR) describes in four volumes the physics case and the design of a 500 GeV centre-of-mass energy linear electron-positron collider based on superconducting radio-frequency technology using Niobium cavities as the accelerating structures. The accelerator can be extended to 1 TeV and also run as a Higgs factory at around 250 GeV and on the Z0 pole. A comprehensive value estimate of the accelerator is give, together with associated uncertainties. It is shown that no significant technical issues remain to be solved. Once a site is selected and the necessary site-dependent engineering is carried out, construction can begin immediately. The TDR also gives baseline documentation for two high-performance detectors that can share the ILC luminosity by being moved into and out of the beam line in a "push-pull" configuration. These detectors, ILD and SiD, are described in detail. They form the basis for a world-class experimental programme that promises to increase significantly our understanding of the fundamental processes that govern the evolution of the Universe.

The International Linear Collider Technical Design Report - Volume 2: Physics

The CMS detector is designed around a large 4 T superconducting solenoid, enclosed in a 12000-tonne steel return yoke. A detailed map of the magnetic field is required for the accurate simulation and reconstruction of physics events in the CMS detector, not only in the inner tracking region inside the solenoid but also in the large and complex structure of the steel yoke, which is instrumented with muon chambers. Using a large sample of cosmic muon events collected by CMS in 2008, the field in the steel of the barrel yoke has been determined with a precision of 3 to 8% depending on the location.

Precise Mapping of the Magnetic Field in the CMS Barrel Yoke using Cosmic Rays

A high energy electron positron collider is proposed to complement the large hadron collider, LHC, which has started taking data at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Based on superconducting acceleration technology the International Linear Collider ILC is offering a mature proposal. It will deliver high luminosity electron positron collisions at 500 GeV upgradable to 1 TeV. Experimentation at such a collider presents many unique challenges, if the huge physics potential should be harvested efficiently. In this paper after a brief review of the state of the accelerator proposal the state of the preparation of the experimental program is discussed.

CMS, the magnet project: Technical design report

CMS (compact muon solenoid) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10,000-ton return yoke. The stored magnetic energy is 2.6 GJ. The magnet is being assembled in a surface hall and will be tested at the beginning of 2005 before being transferred to an experimental hall 90 m below ground level. The design and construction of the magnet is a common project of the CMS Collaboration. The task is organized by a CERN based group with strong technical and contractual participation of CEA Saclay, ETH Zurich, Fermilab, INFN Genova, ITEP Moscow, University of Wisconsin and CERN. The return yoke, 21 m long and 14 m in diameter, is equivalent to a thickness of 1.5 m of saturated iron interleaved with four muon stations. Manufacture of the yoke and vacuum tank is completed and the first sub-detectors have been installed. The indirectly-cooled, pure-aluminum-stabilized coil is made up from five modules internally wound with four layers of a 20 kA mechanically-reinforced conductor. The manufacture of the conductor is completed and winding is in progress for a final assembly in 2004. All ancillaries are delivered or under contract. The magnet project is described, with emphasis on the present status of the fabrication.

Status of the construction of the CMS magnet

CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with a 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10,000-ton return yoke. The assembly of the solenoid on CERN site starts with the building up, the electrical and hydraulic connection of the 5 coil modules. After instrumentation cabling, the outer thermal shield is mounted. The cold mass is then swiveled and inserted inside the outer vacuum tank. The cold mass is supported from the outer vacuum tank by a set of titanium tie rods. After inserting the inner vacuum tank and its thermal shield, both end of the cryostat are closed. In parallel, the current leads and the cryogenic chimney are connected to the coil. This paper describes all these activities and in particular the checks performed at each step of the coil assembly
