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 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 discussed by the authors in the absence of a magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the Silicon Strip Tracker was evaluated during the Sector Test, which consisted of five distinct periods defined by the coolant temperature, and significant emphasis was placed on comparisons between the data and results from Monte Carlo studies.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of tests are described in some detail and an overview of the results is presented, with the main aim being to validate the functioning of the structures in CMS-like conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper , an ad-hoc high-gain and low-noise charge preamplifier has been developed to cope with the requirements of the application field, and the development activities focused to the study of a configurable charge amplifier to be connected to a MM detector having different mesh capacitances.
