ABSTRACT:
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will soon be at the frontier of experimental High Energy Physics. It is expected to start colliding proton-proton beams later this year at an initial center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV. It will be a unique tool for fundamental physics research with an unprecedented physics potential,probing distances down to 10 (-20) m. In this talk, I will discuss the potential of the Compact Muon Solenoid Detector (CMS), one of four experiments at the LHC, to study the fundamental theory of the strong interactions â Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) â using a variety of final states and observables with the first experimental data.
