CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) will be one of two general purpose detectors at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Its main feature is a strong solenoidal magnetic field ensuring high momentum resolution for charged particles. The detector consists of an inner tracker with an embedded pixel detector, a crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, a copper-scintillator hadron calorimeter and a dual muon system made up of tracking chambers and special trigger chambers. Forward calorimetry is also foreseen. The discovery potential of CMS for the Standard Model Higgs, the SUSY Higgses and other supersymmetric particles is presented.
