The International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) was founded in 1978 and was the first institution in Italy to promote post-graduate courses leading to a Doctor Philosophiae (or PhD) degree. A centre of excellence among Italian and international universities, the school has around 65 teachers, 100 post docs and 245 PhD students, and is located in Trieste, in a campus of more than 10 hectares with wonderful views over the Gulf of Trieste.
SISSA hosts a very high-ranking, large and multidisciplinary scientific research output. The scientific papers produced by its researchers are published in high impact factor, well-known international journals, and in many cases in the world's most prestigious scientific journals such as Nature and Science. Over 900 students have so far started their careers in the field of mathematics, physics and neuroscience research at SISSA.

The results of the CMS tracker alignment analysis are
presented using the data from cosmic tracks, optical survey
information, and the laser alignment system at the Tracker
Integration Facility at CERN. During several months of operation in
the spring and summer of 2007, about five million cosmic track
events were collected with a partially active CMS Tracker. This
allowed us to perform first alignment of the active silicon modules
with the cosmic tracks using three different statistical approaches;
validate the survey and laser alignment system performance; and test
the stability of Tracker structures under various stresses and
temperatures ranging from +15 °C to −15 °C. Comparison
with simulation shows that the achieved alignment precision in the
barrel part of the tracker leads to residual distributions similar
to those obtained with a random misalignment of 50 (80) μm
RMS in the outer (inner) part of the barrel.
