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:

– hadron calorimetry, including endcap hadron;

– forward muon stations with cathode strip chambers;

– development and realization of Physics program to test SM and BSM.

Expected results in the current year:

• Processing and analysis of experimental data, development and improvement of muon and jet reconstruction algorithms.
  
  
• Upgrade and technical support of the CMS detectors.
  
  
• CMS shifts, data taking, and data quality monitoring.
  
  
• Development of software for GRID-based distributed system for data processing and analysis. Data transmission between  CMS Tier-1/Tier-2 and JINR.
