The CMS silicon strip tracker operated stably through Runs 1 and 2, with a readout saturation issue understood and fixed in 2016, and radiation damage models projecting survival to 500 inverse femtobarns.

abstract
The subsystems of the CMS silicon strip tracker were integrated and commissioned at the Tracker Integration Facility (TIF) in the period from November 2006 to July 2007. As part of the commissioning, large samples of cosmic ray data were recorded under various running conditions in the absence of a magnetic field. Cosmic rays detected by scintillation counters were used to trigger the readout of up to 15% of the final silicon strip detector, and over 4.7 million events were recorded. This document describes the cosmic track reconstruction and presents results on the performance of track and hit reconstruction as from dedicated analyses.

Operation and performance of the CMS silicon strip tracker with proton-proton collisions at the CERN LHC
The CMS silicon strip tracker operated stably through Runs 1 and 2, with a readout saturation issue understood and fixed in 2016, and radiation damage models projecting survival to 500 inverse femtobarns.
