The CMS Pixel Detector: from production to commissioning
Abstract
Description
The CMS experiment at the LHC includes a hybrid silicon pixel detector for the reconstruction of charged tracks and of the interaction vertices. The detector is made of three barrel layers and two disks at each end of the barrel. Detector modules consist of thin, segmented silicon sensors with highly integrated readout chips connected by the bump bonding technique. In this paper we report on the progress of the detector construction and testing. In addition, first results from the commissioning systems at CERN and PSI are presented.
