The CMS Tracker Alignment Strategy
نویسنده
چکیده
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 Vertex Detectors, Perugia (Italy), 26 September 2006

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 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 کاملTrack Reconstruction and Alignment with the Cms Silicon Tracker
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....
متن کاملAlignment of the CMS Silicon Strip Tracker during stand - alone
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 a...
متن کاملThe HIP Algorithm for Track Based Alignment and its Application to the CMS Pixel Detector
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...
