The Large Hadron Collider now being built at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics promises discoveries of great scientific importance. This will be the first particle accelerator with sufficiently high energy to enable researchers to study fundamental interactions of a kind never before observed - those responsible for giving particles mass. With its ability to explore the mass/energy region of one trillion electron volts (1TeV), the LHC will be instrumental in the completion of the Standard Model of the strong, electromagnetic and weak forces. The construction of the Large Hadron Collider is an international effort with collaborators from many countries. 20% of which are from the United States including a number here at the University of Iowa. The Collaborators from the University of Iowa are involved with the CMS portion of the LHC and are particularly involved with its Forward Calorimeter part of the Hadron Calorimeter. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS): CMS is a proton-proton detector designed to run at the highest luminosity in the LHC. The main features of the CMS are a muon system, an electromagnetic calorimeter, a central tracking, and a hadron calorimeter. One of the goals of the CMS project it to find the Higgs Boson HO which is predicted to exist by the Standard Model of Particle Physics.This proposal focuses on the scientific exploitation of the CMS detector, one of two general-purpose detectors at the LHC. This group plan to strengthen university infrastructure in four areas critical to the long-term success of the CMS research program: software and computing, maintenance and operations, detector upgrade research and development and education and outreach (E/O).

现在，在欧洲粒子物理实验室建造的大型强子对撞机有望发现具有非常科学重要性的发现。这将是第一个具有足够高能量的粒子加速器，使研究人员能够研究从未观察到的一种类型的基本相互作用 - 那些负责给予颗粒质量的人。 LHC具有探索1万亿电子伏特（1TEV）的质量/能量区域的能力，可以在完成强，电磁和弱力的标准模型中发挥作用。 大型强子对撞机的建设是与许多国家合作者的国际努力。其中20％来自美国，其中包括爱荷华大学的数字。来自爱荷华大学的合作者参与了LHC的CMS部分，并特别参与了其前向热量计的强量热量计。紧凑型MUON电磁阀（CMS）：CMS是一种质子蛋白检测器，旨在以LHC中最高的光度运行。 CM的主要特征是MUON系统，电磁热量表，中央跟踪和强子量热仪。 CMS的目标之一是找到由粒子物理学的标准模型预测的Higgs玻色子HO。该建议集中于对CMS检测器的科学开发，这是LHC处的两个通用探测器之一。 该小组计划在四个领域加强大学基础设施，这对于CMS研究计划的长期成功至关重要：软件和计算，维护和操作，探测器升级研究与发展以及教育与外展（E/O）。
