Description
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of two general purpose experiments at
the Large Hadron Collider. The CMS experiment prides itself on an ambitious,
all silicon based, tracking system. After almost 20 years of design and
construction the CMS tracker detector has been installed and commissioned.
The tracker detector consists of ten layers of silicon microstrip detectors
while three layers of pixel detector modules are situated closest to the
interaction point. The pixel detector consists of 66M pixels of 100um*150um
size, and is designed to use the shape of the actual charge distribution of
charged particles to gain hit resolutions down to 12 um. This presentation
will focus on commissioning activities in the CMS pixel detector. Results
from cosmic ray studies will be presented, in addition to results obtained
from the integration of the pixel detector within the CMS detector and
various calibration and alignment analyses.
