Description
With more than 15000 silicon strip modules and an active silicon area
of 200 squaremetres, the CMS silicon strip tracker will be the
largest silicon tracker ever built. While module mass production has
started in 2004, the detector construction has recently entered
its crucial phase with modules being assembled onto larger
substructures, which in turn are being integrated into the tracker
barrel and end cap structures.
In this presentation the detector design will be introduced. The
challenges and experiences of the silicon module mass production,
with focus on the key components such as sensors and hybrids, will be
presented. The status of the integration of modules onto the detector
substructures, as well as the construction and integration of the
large barrel and end cap structures, will be described. Finally an
overview will be given on the excellent performance of subsystems of
the tracker as observed in system tests and test beam experiments.
