Issues addressed and main goals of research:
The CMS Collaboration has constructed a general-purpose detector to be operational at the start-up of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC/CERN) to exploit its full discovery potential. Study of fundamental properties of the matter in Super High Energy proton-proton and nucleus-nucleaus interactions.
    The major activities of JINR are focused on the following directions:
    - forward calorimetry, including endcap hadron, and preshower detector;
    - forward muon stations with cathode strip chambers;
    - development of Physics program to test SM and BSM. 

Expected major results in the current year:

• Upgrade and technical support of the CMS detectors. 
  
  
• CMS start up shifts, data taking, and data quality monitoring. 
  
  
• Processing and analysis of experimental data, development and improvement of muon and jet reconstruction algorithms. 
  
  
• Development of software for GRID-based distributed system for data processing and analysis. Data transmission from CERN to JINR.
