Driven by the Large Hadron Collider physics goals, high precision muon detection is on top of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) priorities. A brief review of the CMS muon spectrometer, detection technologies, test beam results, triggering strategies and current status is given.
In the CMS experiment at the LHC proton-proton collider, a key role will be played by the muon system that is embedded inside the iron yoke used to close the magnetic flux of the CMS solenoid. The muon system of the CMS experiment performs three main tasks: triggering of muons, identifying muons, an
The CMS muon system has been in full operation since its commissioning with several million events of cosmic ray data. The muon system of the CMS experiment consists of three independent detectors: Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) both in the barrel and the endcap, Drift Tubes (DTs) in the barrel, an
