Astroparticle, Particle, Space Physics, Radiation Interaction, Detectors and Medical Physics Applications
The high luminosity operation of the LHC will require an upgrade of the CMS silicon tracker, possibly implementing trigger capabilities. In order to evaluate the possible options and geometries, a standalone software package has been developed (tkLayout) to generate detector layouts, evaluate the effect of inactive material and provide an a priori estimate of the tracking performance. The package can be used to compare the performance of different options, and then to optimize the chosen
