Description and performance of track and primary-vertex reconstruction with the CMS tracker
J. Instrum. 9 (2014) P10009
Abstract: 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 resulting tracks to estimate the positions of the LHC luminous region and individual primary-interaction vertices. Despite the very hostile environment at the LHC, the performance obtained with these algorithms is found to be excellent. For $ \mathrm{ t\bar{t} } $ events under typical 2011 pileup conditions, the average track-reconstruction efficiency for promptly-produced charged particles with transverse momenta of $p_{ \mathrm{T} }$ > 0.9 GeV is 94% for pseudorapidities of |$\eta$| < 0.9 and 85% for |$\eta$| between 0.9 and 2.5. The inefficiency is caused mainly by hadrons that undergo nuclear interactions in the tracker material. For isolated muons, the corresponding efficiencies are essentially 100%. For isolated muons of $p_{ \mathrm{T} }$ = 100 GeV emitted at |$\eta$| lower than 1.4, the resolutions are approximately 2.8% in $p_{ \mathrm{T} }$, and respectively, 10 microns and 30 microns in the transverse and longitudinal impact parameters. The position resolution achieved for reconstructed primary vertices that correspond to interesting pp collisions is 10-12 microns in each of the three spatial dimensions. The tracking and vertexing software is fast and flexible, and easily adaptable to other functions, such as fast tracking for the trigger, or dedicated tracking for electrons that takes into account bremsstrahlung.

Figure 1:
Schematic cross section through the CMS tracker in the $r$-$z$ plane. In this view, the tracker is symmetric about the horizontal line $r=0$, so only the top half is shown here. The centre of the tracker, corresponding to the approximate position of the pp collision point, is indicated by a star. Green dashed lines help the reader understand which modules belong to each of the named tracker subsystems. Strip tracker modules that provide 2-D hits are shown by thin, black lines, while those permitting the reconstruction of hit positions in 3-D are shown by thick, blue lines. The latter actually each consist of two back-to-back strip modules, in which one module is rotated through a `stereo' angle. The pixel modules, shown by the red lines, also provide 3-D hits. Within a given layer, each module is shifted slightly in $r$ or $z$ with respect to its neighbouring modules, which allows them to overlap, thereby avoiding gaps in the acceptance.

NB The measured fake rate depends strongly on the $ {p_{\mathrm {T}}} $ distribution of the generated particles, since, for example, if no particles are generated in a given $ {p_{\mathrm {T}}} $ range, most tracks reconstructed in that range must necessarily be fake. The generated particles used to make the plots of fake rate versus $\eta $ have a different $ {p_{\mathrm {T}}} $ spectrum to those used to make the plots of fake rate versus $ {p_{\mathrm {T}}} $ , therefore the measured fake rates in these two sets of plots are not directly comparable.

Resolution, as a function of pseudorapidity, in the $d_0$, $\phi $ and $ {p_{\mathrm {T}}} $ track parameters for single, isolated electrons with $ {p_{\mathrm {T}}} = 10$ and 100 GeV. For each bin in $\eta $, the solid (open) symbols correspond to the width of the 68% (90%) intervals having its origin on the mode of the distribution in residuals, as described in the text. Only the half of the residuals distribution that does contain the non-Gaussian tail due to bremsstrahlung is considered in the interval calculation. The a, c, e (b, d, f) plots are of electrons reconstructed with the CTF (GSF) algorithm.
