Description
The CMS detector at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a multipurpose detector equipped with capabilities to identify electrons, muons, photons, as well as charged and neutral hadrons. Its tracking system consists of two silicon based sub-detectors: the inner tracker with pixels and the outer tracker with strips. The silicon strip tracker has an active area of approximately 200 m2 containing more than 15000 silicon modules. In this talk, we show the operation and performance of the silicon strip tracker during the LHC Run 3 data taking. Performance metrics including signal-to-noise ratio, hit efficiency and resolution, evolution of bad module components will be presented. The results affirm that the tracker sustained excellent performance throughout Run 3, thereby ensuring the high-quality tracking required for precision CMS physics analyses.
