Description

The CMS silicon strip tracker consists of the inner barrel (TIB), inner discs (TID), outer barrel (TOB), and end-cap (TEC) sub-detectors, providing precise measurements for charged particle trajectories up to a pseudorapidity range of |η| < 2.5. During Run 3 with proton-proton collisions at √s = 13.6 TeV, the CMS strip tracker continues to perform exceedingly well superseding its design goals. At present, it has already been exposed to an integrated luminosity of ~400 fb-1 with additional challenges of large number of pile-up events (more than 60 during Run 3). However, the tracker performance is optimized through improved measurements of the signal-to-noise ratio, hit reconstruction efficiency, spatial resolution, cluster properties, Lorentz angle, and energy loss (dE/dx). This presentation would cover the key features of the CMS tracker performance during the LHC Run 3 operational conditions.
