We report test beam studies of 11% the production ATLAS Tile Calorimeter modules. The modules were equipped with front-end electronics and all calibration systems planned for final detector. used muon, electron hadron beams ranging in energy from 3 to 350 GeV. Two independent showed that light yield calorimeter was ∼70pe/GeV, exceeding design goal by 40%. Electron provided a at electromagnetic scale. Over 200 cells variation response 2.4%. linearity also measured. Muon an intercalibration...

TileCal is the central hadronic calorimeter of ATLAS experiment at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) CERN. The main upgrade LHC to increase instantaneous luminosity scheduled for 2022. High Luminosity LHC, also called Phase-II, will imply a complete redesign read-out electronics in TileCal. In new architecture, front-end aims transmit full digitized information back-end system counting rooms. Thus, provide digital calibrated with enhanced precision and granularity first level trigger improve...

This article describes the Laser calibration system of ATLAS hadronic Tile Calorimeter that has been used during run 1 LHC . First, stability associated readout electronics is studied. It found to be stable with variations smaller than 0.6 %. Then, method developed compute constants, correct for gain calorimeter photomultipliers, described. These constants were determined a statistical uncertainty 0.3 % and systematic 0.2 central part 0.5 end-caps. Finally, detection correction timing...

We present an Optimal Filtering (OF) algorithm to reconstruct the energy, time and pedestal of a photomultiplier signal from its digital samples. The OF was first developed for liquid ionization calorimeters, implementation in scintillator specifically ATLAS hadronic Tile calorimeter (TileCal), is aim this study. objective implement on DSPs Read Out Driver cards order online energy provide it second level trigger. tested compared with plain filtering using both calibration real data TileCal...

The Tile Calorimeter, covering the central region of ATLAS experiment up to pseudorapidities ±1.7, is a sampling device built with scintillating tiles that alternate iron plates. light collected in wave-length shifting (WLS) fibers and read out photomultipliers. In characteristic geometry this calorimeter lie planes perpendicular beams, resulting very simple modular mechanical optical layout. This paper focuses on procedures applied instrumentation calorimeter, which involved assembly about...
