This paper outlines the physics motivation for the Large Hadron Collider and gives the details and the status of the Compact Muon Solenoid ( CMS) experiment. Progress made in the design, prototyping and testing of detectors is illustrated. The physics performance of the detector is illustrated using a selected set of physics channels.
