3. 3 What is CMS? 3ACAT 2007 23-27 April 2007, AmsterdamAndrea Petrucci - LNL-INFN The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors being built on the proton- proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. to explore physics at the TeV scale to discover the Higgs boson to look for evidence of physics beyond the standard model to be able to study aspects of heavy ion collisions The main goals of the experiment are:

4. 4 Run Control and Monitor System 4ACAT 2007 23-27 April 2007, AmsterdamAndrea Petrucci - LNL-INFN The Run Control and Monitor System (RCMS) is responsible for controlling and monitoring the CMS experiment during the data taking. RCMS views the experiment as a set of partition, where a partition is a grouping of entities that can be operated independently. Main operations are configuration, monitoring, error handling, logging and synchronization with other subsystems.

6. 6 RCMS is integrated in the CMS On-line system : It controls the “DAQ component” –Data transport –Event processing It monitors the “Detector Control System” DCS – manages the slow controls of the whole experiment. 6ACAT 2007 23-27 April 2007, AmsterdamAndrea Petrucci - LNL-INFN Run Control and Monitor System The SOAP protocol and the Web Services have been adopted as the main means for communication. The online process environment is XDAQ, a C++ framework for a distributed Data Acquisition System.

7. 7 RCMS Logical Structure 7ACAT 2007 23-27 April 2007, AmsterdamAndrea Petrucci - LNL-INFN A Session is the allocation of the hardware and software of a CMS partition needed to perform data- taking. Multiple Sessions may coexist and operate concurrently. Each Session is associated with a Top Function Manager, that coordinates all the actions. Top Sub-Detector DAQ Resources Services

9. 9 Function Manager 9ACAT 2007 23-27 April 2007, AmsterdamAndrea Petrucci - LNL-INFN Input Handler : It handles all the input events of the FM (GUIs or other FMs, errors, states, logs and monitor messages) Event Processor: It handles all the incoming message and decide where to send them. It has processing capability Finite State Machine (FSM): The behavior of the FM is driven by a FSM. Resource Proxy: It handles all the outgoing connections with the resources. The purpose of a Function Manager (FM) is to control a set of resources.

14. 14 Magnet Test and Cosmic Challenge 14ACAT 2007 23-27 April 2007, AmsterdamAndrea Petrucci - LNL-INFN The main goals of the Cosmic Challenge were: Test Muon alignment systems. Commission the several sub-detectors (Drift Tubes - DT, Hadron Calorimeter – HCAL, Tracker, etc.) and Cosmic Trigger. demonstrate cosmic ray reconstruction with multiple sub-detectors. The Magnet Test and Cosmic Challenge (MTCC) is a milestone of the CMS experiment, it completes the commissioning of the magnet system (coil & yoke) before its lowering into the cavern.
