Description
The ALICE High Momentum Particle Identification RICH detector (HMPID), with its 10 m2 of Cesium Iodide (CsI) photo-cathodes is installed, in the ALICE solenoid since fall 2006.
Since then, it has been thoroughly commissioned, together with its auxiliary
systems, with cosmic rays and beam dump/splash events during various LHC injections tests in 2008 and 2009.
Finally, the HMPID has successfully recorded events produced by the first proton-proton collisions at LHC in winter 2009.
The present talk will review the experience gained during the commissioning phase and summarize the present status of the detector.
Preliminary results, concerning the detector performance, will be shown.
