โœฆ Synopsis

The main subsystems of the CMS Silicon Strip Tracker were assembled together in a dedicated large clean room at CERN prior to their installation in the CMS collision hall. 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 the commissioning phase are discussed in details like Tracker noise performance, signal-to-noise measurements, and hit reconstruction efficiency. The Tracker was inserted in CMS in December 2007 and the commissioning of the full Tracker started. A description of the commissioning procedure followed at CMS and the actual status of the Tracker are presented.

The Silicon Strip Tracker (SST) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest silicon microstrip detector. The SST is composed of four subdetectors which were integrated into the Tracker Support Tube (TST) at the CERN Tracker Integration
