It is used in collider [[physics]], [[proton]]-proton collisions and [[heavy ion]] collisions, for example lead collisions. It is designed to search for [[Strangelets]] and [[Centauros]], kinds of [[exotic matter]] in the [[baryon]] dense, very forward phase region in [[lead]] ([[Pb]]) collisions at the [[particle accelerator]] LHC, CERN near [[Geneva]].<ref name="CMS TIMES">[http://cms.web.cern.ch/cms/Media/Publications/CMStimes/2007/11_12/index.html] CMS Times: Looking forward with the CASTOR calorimeter (feature story).</ref><ref name="CMS TIMES: People">[http://cms.web.cern.ch/cms/Media/Publications/CMStimes/2007/12_03/index.html] CMS Times: People.
