Experience with CMS pixel software commissioning
Abstract
The CMS Pixel detector, consisting of three barrel layers and two endcap disks at each barrel end, was installed in the CMS experiment in summer 2008. After a preliminary commissioning phase with pulse injections the detector participated to data taking with cosmic ray trigger and 3.8T field. In this article, we describe the software for event reconstruction, as well as the status of the calibration tools. In addition, we report on the first running experience with CMS and present preliminary results on detector performance.
