Description
The Large Hadron Collider will allow the study of pp interactions at a center
of mass energy of 14 TeV. The main physics goals of the CMS experiment
are the discovery of the Higgs boson and the search for new physics
phenomena, in particular the appearance of particles predicted by
Supersymmetric theories. The Electromagnetic Calorimeter of the CMS
experiment is made of 75848 Lead Tungstate scintillating crystals. This
challenging project aims to achieve an extreme precision in photons and
electrons energy measurement. General motivations, main technical
challenges, plans for commissioning and precise energy calibration, and the
actual status of the project will be discussed.
