Description

During a few days in December 2009 the Large Hadron Collider produced about 400 thousand proton-proton collisions at 900 GeV in the center of the CMS detector. This data have been very useful for a first check of the performance of the various detector elements, especially the silicon tracker. A signal of 1318+-95 Phi(1020)->K+K- decays was extracted from that early data using information on the energy loss of charged kaons in the silicon sensors of the CMS tracker.
