文摘

The construction and installation phases of the High Momentum Particle IDentification (HMPID) detector of the ALICE experiment were completed by summer 2006. The total active area of the detector is . It represents the largest scale application of CsI photo-cathodes in RICH detectors to date. We will report on the production of the CsI photo-cathodes, the readout electronics, the Multi-wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs) and the assembly and handling procedures needed to produce such a large detector.
