Abstract
Two hadronic forward (HF) calorimeters extend the acceptance of CMS at large rapidities and are built with radiation-hard components (steel absorbers and quartz fibers) to resist the severe radiation levels in the forward regions. Very high energy jets can be measured in HF, by detecting Cherenkov light emitted by shower particles in the quartz fibers. The HF calorimeters are now installed in the underground CMS cavern; after commissioning, the detectors are being prepared for beam. Progress in calibration work and current plans for the HF calorimeters during the initial LHC runs are summarized. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
