Texas Tech University’s CMS group (1994-present)
The TTU-CMS group has played leading roles in the CMS HCAL project and designed and helped construct the CMS forward calorimeters

TTU PhD students, Kamal Lamichhane, Samila Muthumuni and Tielige Mengke, along with Fermilab physicists, work in the Lab C cleanroom at SiDet (2017). They are working on the CMS testing CO2 cooling performance of the cassette for the CMS HGCAL.
Texas Tech University has been a member of CMS since 1994. Currently, the group consists of four professors, two senior scientists, five postdoctoral researchers, eight PhD students, with the additional support of technicians.
The TTU-CMS group actively participates in CMS data analyses, operation of the Hadronic Calorimeter (HCAL), and upgrade of the endcap calorimeters for the High-Luminosity LHC, while maintaining a rigorous R&D programme in advanced detector physics. The group’s CMS physics programme includes searches for physics beyond the Standard Model and studies in multi-boson and jet physics. They maintain the CMS HCAL that they helped develop, build and commission over the last two decades. The group is also heavily involved in the High-Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) R&D effort for the HL-LHC.
