👉 The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) project is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, aimed at discovering new particles and understanding fundamental aspects of the universe. It operates a detector system that tracks and identifies particles produced in high-energy collisions, focusing on the Higgs boson and other exotic particles. CMS uses a large, complex detector composed of layers of sensors to measure particle trajectories and energies, enabling precise measurements crucial for confirming theoretical predictions. The project involves thousands of scientists and engineers worldwide, contributing to data analysis and interpretation, and has played a pivotal role in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.
