PARTICLE PHYSICS

The CMS group at DESY engages in activities ranging from physics analysis and contributions to the data taking (monitoring and alignment) to detector hardware projects. Physics topics are addressed in the areas Top Quarks, Higgs, SUSY, QCD, as well as studies for parton density distributions in the proton. The group works also on data quality monitoring, tracker alignment, high level trigger, the CASTOR calorimeter, the beam condition monitoring as well as research and development for the tracker upgrade.
