Abstract :
A precision lead tungstate crystal calorimeter is being constructed by the CMS collaboration as a powerful tool to probe electroweak symmetry breaking and new physics in the LHC era. The status of calorimeter construction is reported. A crucial issue of maintaining crystal calorimetry precision in the expected radiation environment is elaborated.
