Description
Last year, the STAR experiment at RHIC has installed a prototype of the Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT). The motivation of the HFT detector is to enhance STAR physics capability in measuring heavy quark production with the use of direct topological reconstruction of charmed hadrons.
In this talk we will discuss aspects of the commissioning of the HFT detector in its first data taking deployment.
