The CMS experiment is a large, general-purpose particle detector under construction at the Large Hadron Collider accelerator at the European Center for Particle Physics (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. More than 1,850 scientists from 150 universities and research institutions in 34 countries collaborate on this experiment. Florida Tech formally joined the CMS collaboration in June 2001.
The CMS scientists are studying high-energy proton-proton collisions to answer some of the most fundamental questions of nature, such as the origin of mass and dominance of matter over antimatter in our universe.
