Abstract
Forward physics with CMS at the LHC covers a wide range of physics subjects, including very low-xBj QCD, underlying event and multiple interactions characteristics, γ-mediated processes, shower development at the energy scale of primary cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere, diffraction in the presence of a hard scale and even MSSM Higgs discovery in central exclusive production. We describe the forward detector instrumentation around the CMS interaction point and present selected feasibility studies to illustrate their physics potential.
