First CMS Results with LHC Beam
arXiv:0905.4814
Abstract
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment is a general purpose particle detector experiment located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. In 2008, the LHC beam was commissioned and successfully steered through the CMS detector. First results from CMS with beam data are described, focusing on detector commissioning with beam data, from beam halo studies with the endcap muon system to displays of "beam splash" events, in which the proton beam was stopped by an upstream collimator.
