The CMS silicon strip tracker involves about 70 m(2) of instrumented silicon, with approximately 18500 microstrip detectors read out by 5 x 10(6) electronics channels. It has to satisfy a set of stringent requirements imposed by the environment and by the physics expected at the LHC: low cell occupancy and good resolution, radiation hardness aided by adequate cooling, low mass combined with high stability. These conditions have been incorporated in a highly modular design of the detector modules and their support structures, chosen to facilitate construction and to allow for easy assembly and maintenance.

Abstract
The CMS silicon strip tracker involves about 70 m(2) of instrumented silicon, with approximately 18500 microstrip detectors read out by 5 x 10(6) electronics channels. It has to satisfy a set of stringent requirements imposed by the environment and by the physics expected at the LHC: low cell occupancy and good resolution, radiation hardness aided by adequate cooling, low mass combined with high stability. These conditions have been incorporated in a highly modular design of the detector modules and their support structures, chosen to facilitate construction and to allow for easy assembly and maintenance.
