Abstract
A large fraction of the results produced by the LHC experiments during the first run were made possible by precision vertexing detectors. The all-silicon tracking detector of the CMS experiment uses a pixel detector to do vertexing. This conference report uses four physics analyses as examples where pixel detector are used to either reconstruct primary vertices, separate event tracks from pileup, and/or determine displaced vertices.
