This program represents the first phase of the transition of the experimental group in Cornell's Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics (LEPP) from its traditional program of heavy quark physics to a new program of energy frontier physics at the LHC with the CMS Collaboration. The LEPP group intends to make significant contributions to CMS in the crucial stages that follow hardware construction. These include: Pixel Detector: developing calibration and monitoring software; Electromagnetic Calorimeter: providing a full geometric description of the ECAL for reconstruction and simulation that is flexible enough to incorporate misalignments; Core Software: developing a new core software infrastructure that incorporates some of the most successful features of the CLEO framework including support for "unscheduled" processing and a framework for accessing non-event data; and LHC Physics: installing CMS Monte Carlo software locally and initiating a program of physics studies in preparation for early response to the data. The broader impacts program includes extensive outreach to local K-12 schools, including both in-school programs and out-of-school workshops for teachers, educators, and high school students, and the public, as well as programs for undergraduates.

该计划代表了康奈尔初级粒子物理实验室(LEPP)的实验小组与CMS合作，从传统的重夸克物理计划向大型强子对撞机的新的能量前沿物理计划过渡的第一阶段。LEPP集团打算在硬件建设之后的关键阶段为CMS做出重大贡献。这些活动包括：像素探测器：开发校准和监测软件；电磁热仪：为ECAL提供完整的几何描述，以便进行重建和模拟，以灵活地纳入失调信息；核心软件：开发一个新的核心软件基础设施，其中包含CLEO框架最成功的一些功能，包括支持“计划外”处理和访问非事件数据的框架；以及大型强子对撞机物理：在本地安装CMS蒙特卡罗软件，并启动一个物理研究计划，以便对数据做出早期反应。更广泛的影响计划包括广泛接触当地的K-12学校，包括针对教师、教育工作者、高中生和公众的校内计划和校外研讨会，以及针对本科生的计划。
