Description
The CMS tracker is the largest of its kind built to date. It has an
active area in excess of 200m2 of silicon, which provides high precision
measurement points for track reconstruction. In order to use the data
from the silicon strip and pixel systems to reconstruct charged
particle trajectories as well as primary and secondary vertices,
multi-step calibration procedures including module alignment are
required. Results from operating the CMS tracker during the first two
years of 7 TeV LHC collisions will be presented. These include aspects
such as the data acquisition, detector slow control, and data quality
monitoring. Projections for the evolution of the CMS tracker performance with increasing irradiation will be given.
