Description
The LHC is planning an upgrade program that foresees to increase the luminosity to about 5*10^34cm-2s-1 by 2028, and which will allow to reach an integrated luminosity of 3000fb-1 by 2037. In line with the preparations for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), the LHC experiments are preparing substantial upgrades of their detectors in order to cope with the new requirements. For the HL-LHC era CMS will replace its current outer tracker by a completely new system that will withstand the harsh operation condition and fully exploit the provided luminosity. In contrast to the existing tracker, the new system will also provide trigger information that will allow track reconstruction in the Level-1 trigger decision. The presentation will discuss the design of the future CMS outer tracker and show highlights from the ongoing R&D activities.
