Sumario:A large fraction of the results produced by the LHC experiments during the first run were made possible by precision vertexing detectors. The all-silicon tracking detector of the CMS experiment uses a pixel detector to do vertexing. This conference report uses four physics analyses as examples where pixel detector are used to either establish primary vertices, separate event tracks from pile-up, and/or determine displaced vertices.
