Description

The CGEM-IT detector is the new inner tracker of the BESIII experiment, hosted at IHEP, Beijing. Developed by an international collaboration led by INFN, it consists of three layers of cylindrical triple-GEMs, and its $\sim10000$ channels are read out by an innovative electronics based on TIGER/GEMROC. After the installation in late 2024, the CGEM-IT underwent a commissioning run with cosmics and beams, taking data with the BESIII detector at the psi(2S) peak energy until February 2026. This presentation will report on the operations during commissioning and present the first preliminary results on performance.
