Assembly of the Inner Tracker Silicon Microstrip Modules
This note describes the organization of the mechanical assembly of the nearly 4000 silicon microstrip modules that were constructed in Italy for the Inner Tracker of the CMS experiment. The customization and the calibration of the robotic system adopted by the CMS Tracker community, starting from a general pilot project realized at CERN, is described. The step-by-step assembly procedure is illustrated in detail. Finally, the results for the mechanical precision of all assembled modules are reported
Engineered Prototypes of the Barrel and Forward Single-Sided Silicon Modules of CMS: Milestone Report
This is intended to describe the main features of the first engineered versions of the basic single-sided detector modules for the barrel and forward silicon tracker of CMS
Track Reconstruction with Cosmic Ray Data at the Tracker Integration Facility
The subsystems of the CMS silicon strip tracker were integrated and commissioned at the Tracker Integration Facility (TIF) in the period from November 2006 to July 2007.
As part of the commissioning, large samples of cosmic ray data were recorded under various running conditions in the absence of a magnetic field.
Cosmic rays detected by scintillation counters were used to trigger the readout of up to 15\,\% of the final silicon strip detector, and over 4.7~million events were recorded.
This document describes the cosmic track reconstruction and presents results on the performance of track and hit reconstruction as from dedicated analyses
