The Compact Muon Solenoid is one of the four
experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
UC Davis is part of the CMS collaboration, which consists of more than 150
institutions over 31 nations (full list).
The LHC is scheduled to start running around 2007. CMS physics goals
include the search for the theoretical Higgs boson and supersymmetric
(SUSY) particles.
Please see Matt Searle's talk (Aug04) for more information on the CMS.
