Abstract
The Time-Of-Flight detector (TOF) of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC is based on Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs). The TOF detector consists of 152928 readout channels covering a total area of 141 m2. In this paper the results of the calibration with cosmic-ray data collected during 2009 are presented.
