Eeect of the Tile Calorimeter Thickness in the Atlas Barrel Calorimeter Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the study of the eeect of the Tile calorimeter thickness in the ATLAS Barrel calorimeter performance. The reduction of the Tile Calorimeter depth by 20 cm would have severe consequences on the hadron calorimeter performance and would increase the punchtrough probability in the muon chambers placed behind the calorimeter. Cost savings are also analysed.

CALIBRATION AND MONITORING OF THE TILE HADRONIC CALORIMETER OF ATLAS WITH A 137Cs SOURCE
Monitoring and intercalibration of the ATLAS TileCal is based on a hydraulically driven gamma source system. Extensive R&D has been carried out and has led to a detailed design for the full ATLAS TileCal. A prototype system has been built and tested on the Barrel and Extended Barrel modules. The realisation of the Cs source system, results concerning its performance, comparisons with other cali...
متن کاملCharged Pion Energy Reconstruction in the ATLAS Barrel Calorimeter
The intrinsic performance of the ATLAS barrel and extended barrel calorimeters for the measurement of charged pions is presented. Pion energy scans (E = 20, 50, 200, 400 and 1000 GeV) at two pseudo-rapidity points (η = 0.3 and 1.3) and pseudorapidity scans (−0.2 < η < 1.8) with pions of constant transverse energy (ET = 20 and 50 GeV) are analysed. A simple approach, that accounts in first order...
متن کاملEffect on a Hadron Shower Leakage on the Energy Response and Resolution of Hadron TILE Calorimeter
The hadronic shower longitudinal and lateral leakages and its effect on the pion response and energy resolution of ATLAS ironscintillator barrel hadron prototype calorimeter with longitudinal tile configuration with a thickness of 9.4 nuclear interaction lengths have been investigated. The results are based on 100 GeV pion beam data at incidence angle Θ = 10 at impact point Z in the range from ...
متن کاملDesign of a 22 Scintillating Tile Package for the Sdc Barrel Electromagnetic Tile/fiber Calorimeter
We describe R&D results on optical properties of a scintillating tile//ber system for the SDC barrel electromagnetic calorimeter. The tile//ber system uses a wavelength shifting ber to readout the signal of a scintillating plate (tile) and a clear ber to transmit the signal to a phototube. In the SDC calorimeter design, four of tile//ber systems are grouped as a 22 tile package so that the gap ...
متن کاملHadronic Shower Development in Tile Iron-scintillator Calorimetry
The lateral and longitudinal profiles of hadronic showers detected by a prototype of the ATLAS Iron-Scintillator Tile Hadron Calorimeter have been investigated. This calorimeter uses a unique longitudinal configuration of scintillator tiles. Using a fine-grained pion beam scan at 100 GeV, a detailed picture of transverse shower behavior is obtained. The underlying radial energy densities for fo...
