The CMS GE1/1 commissioning and alignment status

The CMS muon system plays an important role in the discovery of new physics like the Higgs Boson and new particles. The next phase of the LHC is planned to increase luminosity to improve the discovery power. The high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be a harsh environment of pp collisions and will require high-performance muon trigger and muon track reconstruction, especially in the endcap region. The CMS Collaboration has been upgrading the muon system using the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology for the endcap region to maintain the performance of the muon detection in this increased luminosity. The first of three sub-detectors has been installed at Station 1 of the endcap region, called GE1/1. The new sub-detector system requires a new procedure of commissioning and alignment to be developed. We report the status of the GE1/1 commissioning and development of GE1/1 alignment using cosmic muon and pilot-beam pp data taken in 2021.
