Description |
“Data collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of CERN are expected to shed light on the properties of matter and its main interactions in the very first instants of our universe. After a successful commissioning period, the CMS detector has recorded a large sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV that are being used to establish the detector performance and to produce the first measurements in the new, unexplored energy regime. The current status of the apparatus will be presented together with a detailed description of the performance of the major detector components and highlights of the first physics results”
