Abstract
To confirm the standard model of elementary particles or to search for new particles predicted by several theories, physicists around the world aim to create locally very high energy densities. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will from 2007 onward create proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies up to 14 TeV. At these energies a wide range of phenomena can be studied in the final state of the collision. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general purpose detector which is being constructed to detect and measure the properties of the particles in this final state. The tracking device of CMS consists out of a silicon pixel detector and a silicon strip tracker (SST). Both sub-detectors are crucial for the success of the experiment. The presentation overviews the studies performed by the Tracker collaboration to insure a good performance of this unique instrument
