Installation and Commissioning of the ATLAS LAr Readout Electronics
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. The Liquid Argon Calorimeter (LAr) is a subsystem in the ATLAS experiment which is being assembled at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The readout electronics system for the LAr is discussed here. The front-end of the readout will work in radiation environment. This special requirement has led to the development of a large number of rad-hard ASICs. The back-end of the readout employs DSPs to process data to reduce transmission bandwidth. The installation and commissioning of this readout is also discussed here.

Installation and commissioning of the ATLAS
The cryostats of the ATLAS LAr calorimeter system are installed in the ATLAS cavern since several years. Following this, an effort to install and commission the front-end and back-end read-out electronics as well as the timing, trigger and control electronics (infrastructure, crates, and boards) has been ongoing and is finished now, in time for the cavern closure. Following cautious procedures ...
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 کاملReadiness of the Atlas Experiment for First Data
The ATLAS detector is one of the experiments at the LHC that will detect high-energy proton collisions at 14 TeV. The commissioning of the detector has started already in 2005 in parallel to the detector installation and is still in progress. The data taken so far corresponds to noise runs, cosmic muon events and beam background events from single beam in September 2008. We present the current ...
متن کاملThe ATLAS Insertable B-Layer: from construction to operation
The ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) is a fourth layer of pixel detectors, and has been installed in May 2014 at a radius of 3.3 cm from the beam axis and between the existing Pixel detector and a new smaller radius beam-pipe. The new detector, built to cope with high radiation and occupancy, is the first large scale application of 3D detectors and CMOS 130 nm technology. The IBL detector constru...
