Physics with the CMS Detector
- Fermilab
The CMS detector is a powerful instrument that was designed to discover physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). CMS plan to begin in 2009 by\rediscovering" the SM. At lowest luminosity the underlying event and zero bias event will be measured. Next, jets at low Pt will be recorded and the spectra of Pt, mass, and scattering angle will be validated, both for dijets and photon + jet topologies, conrming the strong and EM sector of the SM. Since at the LHC the W cross section is 100 nb, early data on the W and Z cross section, W charge asymmetry, Z mass and width and Z decay asymmetry will serve to conrm the electroweak SM. Finally, the top cross section of 1 nb will provide a \standard candle" for b jets, leptons and missing transverse energy (MET) all of which are crucial elements in searches beyond the SM. With this foundation, CMS will search for SUSY, extra dimensions and other signals of new Physics beyond the SM, some of which will be accessible in the data taken in 2009
