The CMS experiment is a multi-purpose detector successfully operated at the
LHC where predominantly pp collisions take place at various centre of mass
energies up to sqrt(s)=8 TeV at present. Discussed are pp collision results
until end of 2011, corresponding to centre of mass energies of up to sqrt(s)=7
TeV. The excellent performance of the accelerator and the experiment allows for
dedicated physics measurements over a wide range of subjects, starting from
particle identification, encompassing Standard Model measurements in multijet,
boson, heavy flavour and top quark physics, building the basis for new physics
searches interpreted within the framework of various models and theories.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, Spin Praha 2012 conference proceeding
