The Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the LHC images of assembly and installation - CERN or European Organization for Nuclear Research ([Switzerland CERN, 2008)
Foreword: The images in this book illustrate the assembly, installation and commissioning of the CMS detector. They cover the activities at Point 5 in Cessy, France, between 1998 and 2008. CMS is one of the most complex scientific instruments ever built. It has taken about 20 years to go from conceptual design to the completion of construction of the CMS detector for the LHC start-up in September 2008. Accomplishing this has required the talents, efforts and resources of over 2500 scientists and engineers from about 180 institutions in 38 countries.
