At CERN, four large-scale experiments are installed along the tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): CMS, ATLAS, ALICE, and LHCb.

Among these, CMS and ATLAS are the two largest experiments, designed to address similar fundamental physics questions, while employing different detector concepts and technologies. ALICE and LHCb, on the other hand, are medium-sized experiments focusing on more specialized physics topics.

The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment, in which we actively participate, involves approximately 3,800 physicists, engineers, and technical staff from 182 institutes across 42 countries. The CMS detector is 25 meters long, 15 meters in diameter, and weighs about 12,500 tons. It houses the world’s largest solenoid magnet, producing a magnetic field of 4 Tesla.

Türkiye contributes to CERN as an Associate Member country, with around 100 scientists and students actively involved in research activities. The majority of Türkiye’s contributions are concentrated within the CMS experiment.

The primary goal of the CMS experiment is to explore new physics beyond the Standard Model and to investigate the particle and field responsible for giving mass to matter, such as the Higgs boson and the Higgs field. In addition, CMS conducts extensive studies on dark matter, dark energy, supersymmetry, exotic particles, gravitons, and many other new physics scenarios.
