We present a cosmic rack, the FinnCRack. This device is a silicon strip detector-based telescope that measures tracks of cosmic particles. The FinnCRack is constructed using components of the Tracker Outer Barrel (TOB) of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The device is part of the TOB integration and verification effort together with its sister telescope, the CERN CRack. Both CRacks mimick a six degree slice of the TOB barrel structure. The FinnCRack is intended to (a) serve as a platform for TOB software development, both analysis and online software such as run control; (b) be used for noise and cluster shape studies; (c) act as a reference tracker in detector studies; and (d) provide a testbed for track-based alignment testing and development. The construction and setup of the FinnCRack have been documented in detail—the entire chain from connecting cables to physics data analysis—and the operation guide was tested in practice. Both these actions serve the purpose of training and attracting future HEP students. We also showed that we were able to measure cosmic muon tracks.
