Study of energy response and resolution of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter to hadrons of energies from 16 to 30 GeV

Abstract Three spare modules of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter were exposed to test beams from Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN in 2017. The detector’s measurements energy response and resolution positive pions kaons, protons with energies ranging 16 30 GeV are reported. results have uncertainties a few percent. They compared predictions Geant4-based simulation program used estimate detector proton-proton events Large Hadron Collider. determinations obtained using experimental simulated data agree within uncertainties.
