abstract = {The central component of the CMS detector is the largest silicon tracker ever built. The precise alignment of this complex device is a formidable challenge, and only achievable with a significant extension of the technologies routinely used for tracking detectors in the past. This article describes the full-scale alignment procedure as it is used during LHC operations. Among the specific features of the method are the simultaneous determination of up to 200 000 alignment parameters with tracks, the measurement of individual sensor curvature parameters, the control of systematic misalignment effects, and the implementation of the whole procedure in a multi-processor environment for high execution speed. Overall, the achieved statistical accuracy on the module alignment is found to be significantly better than 10µm.},
organization = {We congratulate our colleagues in the CERN accelerator departments for the excellent performance of the LHC and thank the technical and administrative staffs at CERN and at other CMS institutes for their contributions to the success of the CMS effort. In addition, we gratefully acknowledge the computing centres and personnel of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid for delivering so effectively the computing infrastructure essential to our analyses. Finally, we acknowledge the enduring support for the construction and operation of the LHC and the CMS detector provided by the following funding agencies: the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research and the Austrian Science Fund; the Belgian Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique, and Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek;  the Brazilian Funding Agencies (CNPq,  CAPES, FAPERJ, and FAPESP); the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science;  CERN; the Chinese Academy of Sciences,  Ministry of Science and Technology,  and National Natural Science Foundation of China;  the Colombian Funding Agency (COLCIENCIAS); the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sport, and the Croatian Science Foundation;  the Research Promotion Foundation,  Cyprus;  the Ministry of Education and Research, Recurrent financing contract SF0690030s09 and European Regional Development Fund, Estonia;  the Academy of Finland, Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture,and Helsinki Institute of Physics; the Institut National de Physique Nucl ́eaire et de Physique des Particules / CNRS, and Commissariat`a l’ ́Energie Atomique et aux ́Energies Alternatives / CEA,France;  the Bundesministerium f ̈ur Bildung und Forschung,  Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren, Germany; the General Secretariat forResearch and Technology, Greece; the National Scientific Research Foundation, and National In-novation Office, Hungary; the Department of Atomic Energy and the Department of Science andTechnology, India; the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics, Iran; the Sci-ence Foundation, Ireland; the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Italy; the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the World Class University program of NRF, Republic of Korea; the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences; the Ministry of Education, and University of Malaya(Malaysia);  the Mexican Funding Agencies (CINVESTAV, CONACYT, SEP, and UASLP-FAI);the Ministry of Business,  Innovation and Employment,  New Zealand;  the Pakistan Atomic En-ergy Commission; the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the National Science Centre,Poland; the Fundac ̧ ̃ao para a Ciˆencia e a Tecnologia, Portugal; JINR, Dubna; the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency of Atomic Energy of the Russian Federation, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research;  the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of Serbia; the Secretaría de Es-tado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación and Programa Consolider-Ingenio 2010, Spain; the Swiss Funding Agencies (ETH Board, ETH Zurich, PSI, SNF, UniZH, Canton Zurich, and SER);the National Science Council, Taipei; the Thailand Center of Excellence in Physics, the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology of Thailand, Special Task Force for Activating Research and the National Science and Technology Development Agency of Thailand; the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, and Turkish Atomic Energy Authority; theNational Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and State Fund for Fundamental Researches, Ukraine;the Science and Technology Facilities Council, U.K.; the US Department of Energy, and the USNational Science Foundation.Individuals have received support from the Marie-Curie programme and the European Re-search Council and EPLANET (European Union); the Leventis Foundation; the A.
