What Does CMS Stand For?

CMS stands for Compact Muon Solenoid

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a large particle detector situated at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, designed to study a wide range of phenomena in high-energy particle physics. It primarily focuses on the detection and analysis of muons, as well as other particles produced in proton-proton collisions. CMS utilizes a comprehensive array of sophisticated technologies, including electromagnets and advanced tracking systems, to identify and measure the characteristics of particles with high precision. The findings from CMS contribute significantly to our understanding of fundamental forces and the fundamental structure of matter, including key discoveries such as the Higgs boson.
