description | 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 are presented. The implications for CMS physics performance are discussed. The
all-silicon design of the tracking system of the CMS experiment is
expected to provide 1-2 \% resolution for 100 GeV tracks and an
efficient tagging of b-jets. To achieve optimal performance the
position and orientation of each of nearly seventeen thousand modules need
to be determined with a precision of a few micrometers.
For the modules well illuminated by cosmic ray
particles, the ultimate precision has been achieved with data from the
silicon modules traversed in-situ by charged muons, used in combination
with survey measurements. The achieved resolution in all five track
parameters is controlled by means of a data-driven validation of the track
parameter measurements near the interaction region, and tested against
prediction with detailed detector simulation. The outlook for
tracking and physics performance with first collisions is given. |
