Description
Forward physics with CMS at the LHC covers a wide range of
physics subjects, including very low-x QCD, underlying event and multiple
interactions characteristics, photon-mediated processes, shower
development at the energy scale of primary cosmic ray interactions with
the atmosphere, diffraction in the presence of a hard scale and even MSSM
Higgs discovery in central exclusive production. The status of the forward
detector instrumentation of CMS, and the preparations for analysing the
first LHC data will be discussed.
