The ATLAS calorimeter simulation FastCaloSim
نویسنده
چکیده
The FastCaloSim calorimeter simulation was developed to provide a reasonably accurate but still fast simulation of the ATLAS calorimeter system. Parameterizations of electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter showers are used to deposit particle energies in the detailed calorimeter structure. In the present document a short overview of the fast calorimeter simulation principle is presented. This is followed by a comparison of individual particle signatures and event properties to the full Geant 4 based ATLAS detector simulation

ATLAS E-M Calorimeter Resolution and Neural Network Based Particle Classification
The ATLAS detector is being built in CERN at the LHC. It is a general purpose detector that will be used for a variety of experiments, such as searching for the Higgs Boson. The electromagnetic calorimeter is a component of ATLAS responsible for measuring the energy deposited by e, e−, and γ. This paper presents a study of the resolution of the E-M calorimeter using data simulated by GEANT 4. A...
متن کاملFast Simulation of Electromagnetic Showers in the ATLAS calorimeter: Frozen Showers
One of the most time consuming process simulating pp interactions in the ATLAS detector at LHC is the simulation of electromagnetic showers in the calorimeter. In order to speed up the event simulation several parametrisation methods are available in ATLAS. In this paper we present a short description of a frozen shower technique, together with some recent benchmarks and comparison with full si...
متن کاملCommissioning and Performance of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeters
The ATLAS liquid argon (LAr) calorimeter system consists of an electromagnetic barrel calorimeter and two end-caps with electromagnetic, hadronic and forward calorimeters. The construction of the full calorimeter system is completed since mid-2004. The detector has been operated with LAr at nominal high voltage and fully equipped with readout electronics. Online software, monitoring tools and o...
متن کاملFast shower simulation in the ATLAS calorimeter
The time to simulate pp collisions in the ATLAS detector is largely dominated by the showering of electromagnetic particles in the heavy parts of the detector, especially the electromagnetic barrel and endcap calorimeters. Two procedures have been developed to accelerate the processing time of electromagnetic particles in these regions: (1) a fast shower parameterisation and (2) a frozen shower...
متن کاملSingle hadron response measurement and calorimeter jet energy scale uncertainty with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
The uncertainty on the calorimeter energy response to jets of particles is derived for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). First, the calorimeter response to single isolated charged hadrons is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo simulation using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of √ s = 900 GeV and 7 TeV collected during 2009 and 2010. Then, using th...
