TL;DR: In this paper, a description 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 is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, a defect engineering technique was employed resulting in the development of Oxygen enriched FZ silicon (DOFZ), ensuring the necessary O-enrichment of about 2×1017 O/cm3 in the normal detector processing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to improve the radiation tolerance of silicon microstrip and pixel detectors in elementary particle collision experiments (e.g., ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and HERA-B) where radiation damage of the detector bulk material leads to severe deterioration of detector properties.

TL;DR: An overview of the radiation-damage-induced problems connected with the application of silicon particle detectors in future high-energy physics experiments is given in this article, where possible ways are outlined for improving the radiation tolerance of silicon detectors either by operational conditions, process technology or defect engineering.

TL;DR: In this article, the leakage current increase of silicon detectors irradiated with fast neutrons was measured in the fluence range from 10 11 to 10 15 ǫ −2 for a wide range of different starting material.
