TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)

TL;DR: The FP420 project as discussed by the authors has been studying the key aspects of the development and installation of a silicon tracker and fast-timing detectors in the LHC tunnel at 420 m from the interaction points of the ATLAS and CMS experiments.

TL;DR: The subsystems of the CMS silicon strip tracker were integrated and commissioned at the Tracker Integration Facility (TIF) in the period from November 2006 to July 2007 as part of the commissioning, large samples of cosmic ray data were recorded under various running conditions in the absence of a magnetic field as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a fraction of the silicon strip tracker was operated in a comprehensive slice test called the Magnet Test and Cosmic Challenge (MTCC), where cosmic rays detected in the muon chambers were used to trigger the readout of all CMS sub-detectors in the general data acquisition system and in the presence of the 4 T magnetic field produced by the CMS superconducting solenoid.
