The Status of CMS

After a brief overview of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, the status of construction, installation and commissioning is described. Very good progress has been achieved in the past year. Though many significant challenges still lie ahead, CMS should be ready for recording data from first collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator complex at CERNComment: 7 pages, 8 figures, Proceedings for the 2006 Hadron Collider Physics conference at Duke Universit

High temperature metal matrix composites for future aerospace systems

Research was conducted on metal matrix composites and intermetallic matrix composites to understand their behavior under anticipated future operating conditions envisioned for aerospace power and propulsion systems of the 21st century. Extremes in environmental conditions, high temperature, long operating lives, and cyclic conditions dictate that the test evaluations not only include laboratory testing, but simulated flight conditions. The various processing techniques employed to fabricate composites are discussed along with the basic research underway to understand the behavior of high temperature composites, and the relationship of this research to future aerospace systems
