Description
The CMS silicon pixel and strip trackers provide high efficiency charged particle reconstruction and superb momentum resolution over three decades in energy, and thus play a key role in the CMS physics program. In this talk, the readiness of the silicon tracking detectors for Run II data taking as well as first performance studies will be presented. In light of improvements to the tracker operating environment and repairs of defective pixel channels during the LHC long shutdown, the Run II tracker is expected to have a larger yield of active channels than during Run I and to continue to perform well at the foreseen luminosities.
