Track Reconstruction with Cosmic Ray Data at the Tracker Integration Facility

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. \nAs part of the commissioning, large samples of cosmic ray data were recorded under various running conditions in the absence of a magnetic field. \nCosmic 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. \nThis document describes the cosmic track reconstruction and presents results on the performance of track and hit reconstruction as from dedicated analyses.
