Study of dE/dx Measurements with the CMS Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report in this note a study of particle identification by pulse height information in the CMS tracker, in the context of isolated tracks as well as tracks inside a hadron jet. We have used the simulation package CMSIM and the tracker layout described in the Technical Design Report. We describe the discrimination efficiency between π and K as well as the electron identification capability of the stand-alone CMS tracker. a) Tata Institute of Fundamental Research EHEP, Mumbai b) CERN, European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva c) University of Pisa and INFN, Pisa d) On leave from ITEP, Moscow, Russia

Status of the CMS Silicon Strip Tracker and Commissioning Results
The main subsystems of the CMS Tracker have been assembled together in a dedicated large clean room at CERN, prior to the installation in CMS. Following the integration of the Tracker a long commissioning period took place, during which, up to 15% of the silicon modules were operated and read out simultaneously at different temperatures. Some of the achievements of this commissioning phase are ...
متن کاملThe CMS Tracker Alignment Strategy
CMS silicon Tracker alignment consists of three key components: Survey during tracker construction, measurements with the Laser Alignment System during operation and track based alignment. Methods and results are explained in detail, with a special focus on track based alignment due to its enormous complexity and numerical challenges. Presented at Vertex06 – 15th International Workshop On Verte...
متن کاملFirst Alignment of the CMS Tracker and Implications for the First Collision Data
We present the first results of the full CMS Silicon Tracker alignment based on several million reconstructed tracks from the cosmic data taken during the commissioning runs with the detector in its final position. Implication for CMS physics performance is discussed. The all-silicon design of the tracking system of the CMS experiment is expected to provide 1−2% resolution for 100 GeV tracks an...
متن کاملCMS Tracker Alignment Strategy and First Results obtained from Cosmic Muon Tracks
The all-silicon design of the CMS tracker poses new challenges in aligning the system with more than 15,000 independent modules. For optimal track-parameter resolution, the position and orientation of its modules need to be determined with a precision of better than few dozens of micrometres. Starting with the survey measurements and corrections provided by the hardware alignment system, the ul...
متن کاملon CMS information server CMS NOTE 1998 / 077 The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment
This note describes a systematic study of the CMS tracker performance. It aims to evaluate the contribution of different factors, like the spatial resolution of the sensitive elements and the amount of material in the tracker, that affect the track finding efficiency and track parameter resolutions achievable with the CMS tracker. Layout V3 is studied with a detailed simulation of the tracker r...
