Title: Calibration techniques and strategies for the present and future LHC electromagnetic calorimeters

Abstract

This document describes the different calibration strategies and techniques applied by the two general purpose experiments at the LHC, ATLAS and CMS, and discusses them underlining their respective strengths and weaknesses from the view of the author. Here, the resulting performances of both calorimeters are described and compared on the basis of selected physics results. Future upgrade plans for High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) are briefly introduced and planned calibration strategies for the upgraded detectors are shown.

Laser calibration of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter during LHC Run 2

Journal Article Marjanovic, M. ; Agaras, M. N. ; Ahmad, A. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

This article reports the laser calibration of the hadronic Tile Calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment in the LHC Run 2 data campaign. The upgraded Laser II calibration system is described. The system was commissioned during the first LHC Long Shutdown, exhibiting a stability better than 0.8% for the laser light monitoring. The methods employed to derive the detector calibration factors with data from the laser calibration runs are also detailed. These allowed to correct for the response fluctuations of the 9852 photomultiplier tubes of the Tile Calorimeter with a total uncertainty of 0.5% plus a luminosity-dependent sub-dominant term. Finally, wemore »« less

The ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter: One year of LHC operation and future upgrade plans for HL-LHC

Conference Krieger, P W

An overview of the ATLAS liquid-argon calorimeter system is provided, along with a discussion of its operation and performance during the first year of LHC running. Upgrade planning related to the proposed high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC is also discussed, with an emphasis on the forward part of the calorimeter where the effects of the higher luminosity are a particular challenge.

Investigation of fast timing capabilities of silicon sensors for the CMS high granularity calorimeter at HL-LHC

Conference Apresyan, Artur

The High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) is the technology choice of the CMS collaboration for the endcap calorimetry upgrade planned to cope with the harsh radiation and unprecedented in-time event pileup projected at the High Luminosity-LHC era. In this context, profiting from fast-timing information with a resolution of a few tens of picoseconds embedded in the calorimeter would represent a unique capability for resolving information from individual collisions at the HL-LHC. This will enhance the reconstruction and physics capabilities of the CMS detector in terms of pileup mitigation and particle identification. The HGCAL is realized as a sampling calorimeter that usesmore »« less

Future Plans of the ATLAS Collaboration for the HL-LHC

Journal Article Hristova, Ivana - Few-Body Systems

These proceedings report the current plans to upgrade the ATLAS detector at CERN for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). The HL-LHC is expected to start operations in the middle of 2026, aiming to reach an ultimate peak instantaneous luminosity of \(7.5\times 10^{34}~\hbox {cm}^{-2}~\hbox {s}^{-1}\), corresponding to approximately 200 inelastic proton–proton collisions per bunch crossing, and to deliver over a period of twelve years more than ten times the integrated luminosity of the large hadron collider (LHC) Runs 1–3 combined (up to \(4000\,\text{ fb }^{-1}\)). This is a huge challenge to all sub-systems of the detector which will need extensive upgradesmore »« less

The Laser calibration of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter during the LHC run 1

Journal Article Abdallah, J. ; Alexa, C. ; Coutinho, Y. Amaral ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

This article describes the Laser calibration system of the ATLAS hadronic Tile Calorimeter that has been used during the run 1 of the LHC . First, the stability of the system associated readout electronics is studied. It is found to be stable with variations smaller than 0.6 %. Then, the method developed to compute the calibration constants, to correct for the variations of the gain of the calorimeter photomultipliers, is described. These constants were determined with a statistical uncertainty of 0.3 % and a systematic uncertainty of 0.2 % for the central part of the calorimeter and 0.5 % formore »« less
