Alignment of the CMS Silicon Strip Tracker during stand - alone

چکیده
The results of the CMS tracker alignment analysis are presented using the data from cosmic tracks, optical survey information, and the laser alignment system at the Tracker Integration Facility at CERN. During several months of operation in the spring and summer of 2007, about five million cosmic track events were collected with a partially active CMS Tracker. This allowed us to perform first alignment of the active silicon modules with the cosmic tracks using three different statistical approaches; validate the survey and laser alignment system performance; and test the stability of Tracker structures under various stresses and temperatures ranging from +15C to −15C. Comparison with simulation shows that the achieved alignment precision in the barrel part of the tracker leads to residual distributions similar to those obtained with a random misalignment of 50 (80) μm in the outer (inner) part of the barrel.

CMS 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...

Good geometrical alignment is essential to fully benefit from the excellent intrinsic resolution of the CMS silicon tracker. Since the tracker consists of about 20000 independent silicon sensors, of the order parameters are needed for the alignment. The determination of these constants with the required precision of about is an extremely challenging task. In this paper an effective and computat...

متن کاملStatus 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 ...
