	Spotlight on... CMS - The Compact Muon Solenoid
		The Compact Muon Solenoid is one of the experiments for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
		The name well summarises the main characteristics of the experimental apparatus: great emphasis has been put on building a highly efficient muon detection and measurement system, and the detector is based around the use of a single superconducting solenoid.
		In the CMS outreach pages you will learn about the different parts of the detector, you'll be able to watch a movie and interesting animations of the final assembly of the detector, and you will also find out some interesting (and sometimes amazing!) facts about the CMS detector.

	Compact Muon Solenoid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors being (as of 2006) built on the proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland.
		Surrounding it is a scintillating crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, which is itself surrounded with a sampling calorimeter for hadrons.
		The tracker and the calorimetry are compact enough to fit inside the CMS solenoid which generates a powerful magnetic field of 4 T. Outside the magnet are the large muon detectors, which are inside the return yoke of the magnet.

	Performance in Muon Identification and Muon Momentun Measurement by the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment at the LHC
		The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC is based on a 4 T superconducting solenoid.
		The muon momentum is measured in three ways -- bending angle measurement immediately after the coil, sagitta measurement in the return yoke, and sagitta measurement in the inner tracker.
		The first two measurements are performed with the muon detector alone, independent of the inner tracker (stand alone measurement).

	Introduction to CMU Anode Electronics
		The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector (CMS general view) is a large, multi-purpose facility which is to be installed at one of the interaction points of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland.
		The endcap muon system (EMU) is one of the two main parts of the detector which are primarily the responsibility of the U.S. institutions participating in the CMS collaboration.
		By measuring which wire group was hit by a muon we can obtain two crucial pieces of information about the muon: (a) what angle the muon had with respect to the beam direction.

	Consigned to Cern the last component of Cms solenoid
		It is the hugest superconducting solenoid in the world and it is able to generate a magnetic field 100.000 times stronger than the Earth's one
		On the whole, the realization of the big solenoid was one of the main technological challenge of Cms: it took us about 10 years of work and an investment of about 80 millions of Euros.
		Even the transportation of the modules that form the solenoid of Cms from Genoa, where it was realized, to Geneva, was in a certain sense a delicate operation.

	Rice Physicist to Direct $40M LHC Program
		Muons are short-lived particles that act much like electrons but are far more massive.
		A goal of CMS is to detect the rapid stream of muons that will be created in the LHC, which will smash together beams of protons traveling near light speed in order to recreate high-energy conditions that existed during the universe's infancy.
		For example, the path of each muon must be calculated to within one millimeter's accuracy in space and to within four nanoseconds accuracy in time.

	The Compact Muon Solenoid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		CMS is no exception: we have decided to use a large superconducting Solenoid, with a length of around 12m and an inner diameter of about 6m.
		This yoke is built in layers, interspersed with Muon detectors; The configuration of the magnetic field means that the momentum of muons will be measured both inside the coil (by the tracking devices) and outside of the coil (by the muon chambers).
		Muons are extremely important in particle physics as they signify that "something interesting has happened" so can be used to help find that elusive "needle in a haystack".

	From scientific hypothesis to real-world machinery (Apr 30, 2002)
		And there will be only one — when it's finished, that is. The solenoid, a subatomic-particle detector that scientists will use to seek evidence of a certain kind of particle known as a Higgs boson, will be assembled in Geneva, Switzerland, in a couple of years.
		PSL is one of those labs, and Feyzi's concern lies in the engineering problem of building a working compact muon solenoid — which, as it turns out, isn't all that compact.
		They are aiding the univesity with a project called AMANDA, the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array, which requires several hundred neutrino detectors —; basketball-size devices that allow physicists to observe some of the most elusive of subatomic particles.

	Euro-Link CERN Applications: Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)
		The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) will be a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
		CMS is also well adapted for the study of top, beauty and tau physics at lower luminosities, and will cover several important aspects of the heavy ion physics program.
		At the core of the CMS detector sits a large superconducting solenoid generating a uniform magnetic field of 4 T. The choice of a strong magnetic field leads to a compact design for the muon spectrometer without compromising the momentum resolution up to rapidities of 2.5.

	CERN Courier - First module for the CMS sol - IOP Publishing - article
		The first of five modules that will form the superconducting solenoid magnet for the CMS experiment at CERN was ready to leave the Italian port of Genova at the end of January, subject to good weather conditions.
		The solenoid, which represents the "S" in CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid), is the product of an international collaboration between the French Commissariat á l'Energie Atomique (CEA), CERN, the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), ETH (Polytechnic of Zürich) and Ansaldo Superconductors of Genova.
		Ansaldo was entrusted with the construction of the five modules constituting the magnet, which generates a magnetic field of 4 T. Once completed, the superconducting solenoid will boast a notable record: with its 2.6 Gigajoule of energy it will hold the world record for energy stored in a magnet.

		The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment is one of the three major collider detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located in the CERN international laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland.
		Although the word “Compact” appears in its name, CMS’ compactness is only relative to ATLAS, a competing LHC experiment with a lower magnetic field and a larger volume.
		The CMS detector design is optimized, in combination of the high energy and beam intensity (or “luminosity”) of the LHC, to provide opportunities for new physics discoveries with the greatest achievable sensitivity, based on precision measurements of muon, electrons and photons over a wide energy range.
