Building the future CMS tracker
The Large Hadron Collider will undergo a major upgrade in the coming years which plans on gradually bringing its instantaneous luminosity to $5-7.5\times10^{34}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ in 2029 and reach an integrated luminosity of up to $3000-4000\;$fb$^{-1}$ per experiment within a decade.
While presenting a great opportunity for the full exploitation of the machine's physics reach, an increase in both instantaneous and integrated luminosity will bring new challenges to the experiments recording these collisions, which are undergoing major upgrades to maintain their outstanding performance.
In this talk, the upgrade of the CMS detector, and in particular its outer silicon tracker, will be discussed. The upgrade motivation and design will be discussed and the production of detector modules will be detailed with a focus on quality control and detector design validation.
