Applications of cosmic-ray muons have grown in numbers in the last decades. This was
possible thanks to the development of detectors and techniques employed in particle and …

A description is provided of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for
reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the …

The performance of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering in CMS has been
studied using 40 pb− 1 of data collected in pp collisions at√ s= 7 TeV at the LHC in 2010. A …

The energy calibration and resolution of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the CMS
detector have been determined using proton-proton collision data from LHC operation in …

The first LHC pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 and 2.36 TeV were recorded by
the CMS detector in December 2009. The trajectories of charged particles produced in the …

At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN the proton bunches cross at a rate of 40 MHz. At the
Compact Muon Solenoid experiment the original collision rate is reduced by a factor of O …

The CMS detector is designed around a large 4 T superconducting solenoid, enclosed in a
12 000-tonne steel return yoke. A detailed map of the magnetic field is required for the …

The performance of muon reconstruction in CMS is evaluated using a large data sample of
cosmic-ray muons recorded in 2008. Efficiencies of various high-level trigger, identification …

The CMS silicon tracker, consisting of 1440 silicon pixel and 15 148 silicon strip detector
modules, has been aligned using more than three million cosmic ray charged particles, with …
