Track Reconstruction and Alignment with the Cms Silicon Tracker
نویسنده
چکیده
This report presents recent results on track reconstruction and alignment with the silicon tracker of the CMS experiment at the LHC, obtained with a full detector simulation. After an overview of the layout of the tracker and its material budget, the baseline algorithm for track reconstruction is discussed. The performance of the track reconstruction and its dependence on misalignment is shown. The concept for alignment of the CMS tracker, using a laser alignment system as well as three different track-based alignment algorithms, is presented.

Tracking and Alignment in the CMS Detector
This Report summarises the alignment strategy of the CMS detector. Track reconstruction in the silicon tracker and muon chambers is briefly described. We then present the different sources of alignment information, in particular alignment algorithms using reconstructed tracks. Presented at IPRD06, Siena, October 1–6, 2006
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 کاملImpact of CMS Silicon Tracker Misalignment on Track and Vertex Reconstruction
The alignment uncertainties of the CMS Tracker detector, made of a huge amount of independent silicon sensors with an excellent position resolution, affect the performances of the track reconstruction, the track parameters measurement and the vertex reconstruction. In order to study the impact of the mis-alignment of the CMS tracking devices on the previous procedures, realistic estimates for t...
متن کاملTrack Reconstruction Performance in CMS
The expected performance of track reconstruction with LHC events using the CMS silicon tracker is presented. Track finding and fitting is accomplished with Kalman Filter techniques that achieve efficiencies above 99% on single muons with pT >1 GeV/c. Difficulties arise in the context of standard LHC events with a high density of charged particles, where the rate of fake combinatorial tracks is ...
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...
