Performance of the ALICE Time-Of-Flight detector at the LHC
Abstract
The ALICE Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector at LHC is based on the Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs). The TOF performance during LHC Run 2 is here reported. Particular attention is given to the improved time resolution reached by TOF detector of 56 ps, with the consequently improved particle identification capabilities.
