Abstract

The CMS pixel detector allows for high precision tracking in the region closest to the interaction point in a particularly harsh environment characterized by a high track multiplicity and heavy irradiation. The main purpose of the pixel detector is the reconstruction of secondary vertices from heavy flavor and tau decays and the generation of track seeds for track reconstruction.
