Data Quality Monitoring of the CMS Silicon Strip Tracker Detector
نویسنده
چکیده
The Physics and Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) framework aims at providing a homogeneous monitoring environment across various applications related to data taking at the CMS experiment. In this contribution, the DQM system for the Silicon Strip Tracker will be introduced. The set of elements to assess the status of detector will be mentioned, along with the way to identify problems and trace them to specific tracker elements. Monitoring tools, user interfaces and automated software will be briefly described. The system was used during extensive cosmic data taking of CMS in Autumn 2008, where it demonstrated to have a flexible and robust implementation and has been essential to improve the understanding of the detector. CMS collaboration believes that this tool is now mature to face the forthcoming data-taking era.

The CMS Silicon Strip Tracker - Overview and Status
With an active silicon area of more than 200 m2, the silicon strip tracker of the CMS experiment, one of the experiments currently under construction for the future Large Hadron Collider at CERN, will be by far the largest silicon tracker in the world. Efficient mass production and rigid quality control are crucial to finish the detector, comprising of more than 15000 silicon strip modules, in ...
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 کاملThe Front-End Driver Card for the CMS Silicon Strip Tracker Readout
The first prototypes of the production version of the Front-End Driver (FED) card for the CMS silicon strip tracker are about to be manufactured. The FEDs provide the off-detector processing of the tracker readout system. They digitise and zero-suppress the multiplexed analogue optical data sent on each Level-1 trigger from the ondetector APV25 pipeline chips. This paper outlines the design and...
متن کاملDouble-sided Silicon Detectors using N-side Pad Readout for the CMS Silicon Inner Tracker
Double-sided silicon detector prototypes produced for the CMS inner tracker are described which divide the n-side into pads rather than strips. The signal routing to the readout electronics is made on a separate flexible z-print which is glued on the detector and then wire-bonded to the pads.
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...
