| Description: | The Silicon Pixel Detector (SPD) is the innermost element of the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS). The SPD consists of two barrel layers of hybrid silicon pixels surrounding the beam pipe with a total of ≈ 10^7 pixel cells. The SPD features a very low material budget, a 99.9% efficient bidimensional digital response, a 12 micron spatial precision in the bending plane (rf ) and a prompt signal as input to the L0 trigger. The SPD commissioning in the ALICE experimental area is well advanced and it includes calibration runs with internal pulse and cosmic ray runs. In this contribution the commissioning of the SPD is reviewed and the first results from runs with cosmic rays and circulating proton beams are presented. |
