The University of Kansas joined CMS in July 2000, initially working on the outer Tracker. The heavy-ion team joined later and built the Zero Degree Calorimeter. The group has continued to work with the Tracker and in particular on the Pixel project. The newest members of the group help with forward detectors such as the beam-radiation instrumentation and luminosity detector as well as with the CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer. The group has around 40 undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, engineers and faculty members. The University of Kansas contributes to studies of electroweak physics, physics beyond the Standard Model and forward physics, as well as studies of nuclear matter under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure.
