Draft2:United States Compact Muon Solenoid Collaboration
Template:US CMS Twitter box The United States Compact Muon Solenoid Collaboration (US CMS collaboration) is the largest national group in the Compact Muon Solenoid collaboration.
The CMS detector is designed to detect the basic objects that are identified by physicists as being truly fundamental: electrons, muons, tau leptons, photons, quark jets, and missing energy due to very weakly interacting particles such as neutrinos. Massive particles such as the Higgs boson will decay into these fundamental objects, the properties of which will be measured in the CMS detector’s many subsystems.
US groups have made significant contributions to nearly every aspect of the detector throughout all phases including construction, installation and preparation for data-taking. The US collaboration also made major contributions to the construction and operation of the computing facilities needed to analyze the unprecedented amount of data to be generated by CMS. This work includes the software that allows physicists to operate the CMS detector, reconstruct the data, analyze it and extract new physics.
DOE's role
U.S. CMS is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is the lead organization with support from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The work is overseen by Office of Science (SC-43 OIM).
Stakeholders
As of October 2022 it had:
- 54 institutions
- 571 Ph.D. physicists
- over 372 graduate students
- 684 engineers, technicians, computer scientists and others
See U.S. CMS Universities and Laboratories for more details.
Collaboration Board Members
The US CMS Collaboration Board is co-chaired by someone from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
