The CMS detector at the CERN LHC features a silicon pixel as its innermost subdetector. original has been replaced with an upgraded system (CMS Phase-1 detector) in extended year-end technical stop of 2016/2017. is designed to cope higher instantaneous luminosities that have achieved by after upgrades accelerator during first long shutdown 2013–2014. Compared detector, better tracking performance and lower mass four barrel layers three endcap disks on each side provide hit coverage up...

The upgrade of the LHC to High-Luminosity (HL-LHC) is expected increase design luminosity by an order magnitude. This will require silicon tracking detectors with a significantly higher radiation hardness. CMS Tracker Collaboration has conducted irradiation and measurement campaign identify suitable sensor materials strip designs for future outer tracker at experiment.

Three different front-ends (Synchronous, Linear, Differential) were designed implemented RD53A demonstrator chip. A dedicated evaluation program was carried out select most...
The results of the CMS tracker alignment analysis are presented using data from cosmic tracks, optical survey information, and laser system at Tracker Integration Facility CERN. During several months operation in spring summer 2007, about five million track events were collected with a partially active Tracker. This allowed us to perform first silicon modules tracks three different statistical approaches; validate performance; test stability structures under various stresses temperatures...

Abstract Defects in semiconductor crystals can have significant detrimental effects on their performance as radiation detectors. cause charge trapping and recombination, leading to lower signal amplitudes poor energy resolution. We designed built a modular 3D scanner for analyzing these defects samples using commercial off-the-shelf components. Previous solutions offer great spatial resolution, but limited sample holding capacity use continuum light sources which difficulty differentiating...
