Abstract
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment is scheduled for data taking in 2008 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It has an all-silicon tracking system with a Pixel Detector as the innermost component. The silicon Pixel Detector is made of two disks on each side of the interaction point with three barrel layers in between. It will play a crucial role in realizing the physics potential at LHC by providing a 3D space resolution on the order of ten microns for pattern recognition and track reconstruction. The disks are collectively called the Forward Pixel Detector and are being assembled at Fermilab, USA The detector modules for the disks alone consist of eighteen million pixels. The design and present status of the Forward Pixel Detector is presented here.
