The Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC is based on Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) technology. During the 2009–2013 data taking the TOF system had very stable operations with a total time resolution of 80 ps. Details of the different calibration procedures and performance with data from collisions at the LHC will be described.

Abstract
The Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC is based on Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) technology. During the 2009–2013 data taking the TOF system had very stable operations with a total time resolution of 80 ps. Details of the different calibration procedures and performance with data from collisions at the LHC will be described.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
