Abstract

A fully instrumented slice of the ATLAS detector was exposed to test beams from the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) at CERN in 2004. In this paper, the results of the measurements of the response of the barrel calorimeter to hadrons with energies in the range 20350 GeV and beam impact points and angles corresponding to pseudo-rapidity values in the range 0.20.65 are reported. The results are compared to the predictions of a simulation program using the Geant 4 toolkit. © 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

A very important ingredient of the 2004 ATLAS CTB has been the mechanics of the two calorimeters support and movement. We would like to acknowledge Danilo Giugni, Simone Coelli and Giampiero Braga from INFN Milano for the design, overview of the production and testing of the LAr calorimeter support table. We wish to thank Claude Ferrari, Pierre Gimenez, Yves Bonnet, Denis Gacon and Alain Pinget of CERN EN/MEF group for the continuous mechanical support provided in the CERN SPS North Area during the installation of the setup and the data taking. This work was supported in part by the European Community, through the ARTEMIS Research Training Network (Contract number MRTN-CT-2006-035657) and by GRICES and FCT, Portugal.
