CMS

CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid detector) is one of the large particle detectors located at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) collider at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) in Geneva. The detector was built with the aim of advancing knowledge of the fundamental laws that describe our universe by studying all the possible phenomena that can develop when a collision between protons at high energies occurs.

The mechanical design service had collaborated during the construction phase of the detector in the design and construction of the muon chambers.

This system of chambers is currently being improved with the development of new electronic boards for reading data. The service is studying the layout of the new minicrates to be inserted in the chambers.

At the moment the service is also designing the system for assembling the minicrates that will be built at our section next year.
