The CMS pT modules for the Outer Tracker Upgrade: current status and (unexpected) applications

Room: Sunrise (WH11NE) The High Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will significantly increase its instantaneous luminosity, thus enabling unprecedented precision studies of the Standard Model (SM) and searches for Physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). To capitalize on this opportunity and address the challenges posed by the high pile-up environment, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is developing a completely new silicon-based tracking system. This talk will introduce the so-called "pT modules" sensors that will be used in the Outer Tracker, outlining the physics motivations behind this novel design, as well as their usage to reconstruct tracks at 40MHz rate in CMS. Furthermore, the talk will give an overview of the applications of pT modules that fall outside of the original usage foreseen for this modules, such as cosmic ray setup and the MUonE experiment at CERN - aiming at determination of the leading hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment -, showing the versatility of the pT concept.
