Analysis and Grading of CMS Outer Tracker Module Test Performance with POTATO

ORAL

Abstract

The Outer Tracker of the CMS experiment provides information about the trajectory of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. During the High Luminosity LHC upgrade, scheduled for the late 2020s, the Outer Tracker will be replaced with new modules capable of transmitting data to the L1 Trigger. These modules are being assembled at several facilities around the world, necessitating coordinated standards of module quality. In this talk, I will discuss the development of POTATO (Phase-II Outer Tracker Analyzer of Test Outputs), a C++ software which provides a standardized procedure for analyzing and grading test results of the new Outer Tracker modules.
