The CASTOR calorimeter is a detector covering the very forward region of the CMS experiment at the LHC. It surrounds the beam pipe with 14 longitudinal modules each of which consisting of 16 azimuthal sectors and allows to reconstruct shower profiles, separate electrons and photons from hadrons and search for phenomena with anomalous hadronic energy depositions. The physics program that can be performed with this detector includes a large variety of different QCD topics. In particular, the calorimeter is supposed to contribute to studies of low-x parton dynamics, diffractive scattering, multi-parton interactions and cosmic ray related physics in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. The physics capabilities of this detector are briefly summarized in this paper.
