The following navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move through main tier links and expand / close menus in sub tiers. Up and Down arrows will open main tier menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors built on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and France. LHC accelerator boost beams of the two-proton particle to high energy before the beams are made to collide with each other at the heart of the CMS detector. The detector gathers and records the results of the collisions about the particles due to their interaction with the detector's material, which results in a characteristic signature, in most cases, an electric signal, of their speed, mass, and charge from which physicists can work out a particle's identity. CMS particle detectors consist of layers of sub-detectors, each designed to look for particular properties or specific types of particles. Tracking devices reveal the path of a particle; calorimeters stop, absorb and measure a particle’s energy; and particle-identification detectors use a range of techniques to pin down a particle's identity. One of the main sub-detectors of CMS is the Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) endcap muon detector that has the functionality to accurately and efficiently reconstruct and identify tracks assigned to muon particles. I present and discuss the design principle, implementation, and performance of muon identification at the cathode strip chamber (CSC) sub-detector.
