PID performance of the ALICE-TOF detector at Run 2

Abstract

In these proceedings we report on the status of the ALICE Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector. The running performance of the Run 1 (2009-2013) and Run 2 (2015-present) data taking campaigns are compared. The particle identification capabilities of the detector are presented and discussed in the light of the improved detector calibration that allowed to reach a timing resolution of 56 ps.
