Welcome to the DESY CMS group's website!

The DESY group engages in activities ranging from physics analysis and contributions to the data taking (monitoring and alignment) to detector hardware projects.
Physics topics are addressed in the areas of Top Quarks, Higgs, SUSY, QCD, as well as studies for parton density distributions in the proton. Besides these physics analyses the DESY CMS group activities focus on data quality monitoring, tracker alignment, high level trigger, the CASTOR calorimeter, beam condition monitoring and tracker research and development for SLHC.
The DESY group operates a remote operation center at DESY in which regular shifts for offline quality monitoring of CMS data are performed.
DESY is also a Tier-2-site and thus directly involved in the LHC-computing for the data processing chain.
DESY offers diverse opportunities for Diploma, Masters and PhD theses both in physics analysis and in more technical areas. If you are interested please contact our group leaders.
The current status (as of May 2011) of CMS and especially our group activities was recently presented in our report at the DESY Physics Research Commitee meeting.
