IPM joined CMS in 2002, sending three students to CERN to perform their PhD research and providing an in-kind contribution. The in-kind contribution was the construction of the support tables for the CMS forward calorimeters, which was later augmented by their cylindrical shielding. The group is involved in several physics analyses, mostly around Top physics, Forward Physics, Supersymmetry, Higgs and Exotics. The group is also active in beam test, implementation of the full description of geometrical parts, Geant 4 simulation, and digitisation and reconstruction of the CT-PPS detector. Contribution to the Phase-2 Upgrade of the CMS detector is through the fabrication of the Link Boards of the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) for data transmission, control and calibration of the RPC read-out system.
