The Silicon Tracking System of CMS
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes the large silicon tracking system of CMS, one of the two general purpose detectors planned at the Large Hadron Collider of CERN. The system consists of three layers of silicon microstrip detectors instrumenting the interaction region as part of the Inner Tracking Detector of CMS. The expected performance of the system is discussed together with preliminary test beam results on single and double-sided prototype detectors. Invited Talk at ”Vertex ’96”, the 5-th International Workshop on Vertex Detection Techniques, Chia, Cagliari, Italy, 17-21 June 1996

First 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 کاملThe Status of the CMS Forward Pixel Detector
The silicon pixel detector is the innermost component of the CMS tracking system. It provides precise measurements of space points to allow effective pattern recognition in multiple track environments near the LHC interaction point. The end disks of the pixel detector, known as the Forward Pixel detector, are constructed mainly by the US-CMS collaborators. The design techniques, readout electro...
متن کاملThe electronic readout of the CMS tracking system
A description is given of the electronic readout system proposed by the CMS experiment for the microstrip tracker. It is an analogue system based on a front end chip development by RD20 and analogue optical links being developed by RD23. Both gas and silicon microstrips are read out by the same system with minor modifications to the front end chips to accommodate the different detector characte...
متن کاملPerformance of the Silicon Detectors for the CMS Barrel Tracker
The Compact Muon Solenoid is a detector designed for the Large Hadron Collider. High particle rates combined with a magnetic field of 4 T make particle tracking a challenge. The baseline is to use silicon pixel and microstrip detectors and microstrip gas chambers. This talk focuses on the barrel part of the silicon tracker. It is made of 816 modules (368 single-sided and 448 double-sided) arran...
متن کاملTests of silicon sensors for the CMS pixel detector
The tracking system of the CMS experiment, currently under construction at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland), will include a silicon pixel detector providing three spacial measurements in its final configuration for tracks produced in high energy pp collisions. In this paper we present the results of test beam measurements performed at CERN on irradiated silicon pixe...
