Description

This note contains a description of the muon system constructed for the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at LHC. A description of all three different subdetectors composing the spectrometer (Drift Tube Chambers, Cathode Strip Chambers and Resistive Plate Chambers), their construction and commissioning will be reviewed, together with some results obtained in different campaigns of cosmic data taking.
