| Abstract: |
The CMS experiment at CERN is a general-purpose collider detector designed to explore physics in new energy domains. It has to overcome different challenges in measurement technology. New techniques have often to be used to identify particles and to determine their energies, momenta and trajectories. Detector response times have to be small due to the high collision rate at the Large Hadron Collider. Many particles are produced in each collision; therefore a high number of detector and readout channels is necessary, which in turn leads to huge numbers of data to be stored and analysed. The dynamic range of the measuring devices needs to be large. In addition, the radiation environment is harsh. The solutions CMS has adopted to address these challenges with its devices for tracking, calorimetry, muon detection and triggering are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
