Description
The CMS collaboration is formed in 1993, but the concept of LHC was first discussed in 1984, just after the discovery of W and Z bosons at SPS. Since then scientist all over the world including Indians were involved in designing, building and calibrating detectors to extract physics from pp collision data at √S = 7-14TeV. One of the main physics programme of LHC is to look for Higgs boson in the Standard Model of physics and physics beyond the SM. Since last two years, the LHC machine is delivering pp collision data at √S = 7TeV. Instantaneous luminosity went above 3.3×1033 cm−2 s−1 and already delivered more than 4.8 fb−1 of data, which is beyond our expectation. After a brief summary on the Indian contribution in the CMS experiment, I will talk about physics results from the CMS experiment and status report on Higgs search along with searches for particles which are predicted in many different models beyond the SM.
