CMS Experiment

The CMS Experiment is a gigantic particle-detector, located around 100 m below the ground in the foothills of the Jura Mountains in Cessy, France. It’s one of four collision points at LHC that smashes protons together at energies never achieved before, to solve the mysteries of our Universe. CMS is a collaboration of more than 2,600 scientists, including around 900 students from 182 institutes in 42 countries.
