Description
ALICE is the dedicated heavy ion experiment at the LHC. The detector is
optimised to register heavy ion collisions, up to Pb-Pb, as
well as p-p ones. The main tracking device of the ALICE experiment is the
Time Projection Chamber - TPC. We will present design of the detector and
its performance. The current status of the detector and the capabilities to
underlying physics, based on the cosmic rays tests, will be shown as well.
