16 Summary Reviewed PHENIX-TOF detector functionality and performance from the first RHIC run. Tracking detectors (DC/PC/TEC) and TOF detector had been operated successfully during the run. TOF intrinsic timing resolution ~120 ps have been achieved by TEC/TOF hit position matching without slewing correction. Fine tuning of TOF timing calibration parameters will be done. Clear hadron PID have been achieved. Lots of interesting physics will come next. 1) Single particle spectra for  ,  , K +, K -, p and  p(, centrality dependence) 2) Particle ratio K/ ,  p/p etc. and their centrality/p T dependence 3) HBT analysis 4)  K + K - physics BNL/ Tatsuya CHUJO @ CAARI 2000 Univ. of North Texas, TX 11/1/2000
