Hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS calorimetry in the framework of the non-parametrical method ATLAS

Abstract

This paper discusses hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS barrel prototype combined calorimeter (consisting of a lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and an iron-scintillator hadronic part) in the framework of the nonparametrical method. The non-parametrical method utilizes only the known e=h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a minimization technique. Thus, this technique lends itself to an easy use in a first level trigger. The reconstructed mean values of the hadron energies are within 71% of the true values and the fractional energy resolution is ½ð5873Þ%= ffiffiffi ffi E p þ ð2:570:3Þ%"ð1:770:2Þ=E: The value of the e=h ratio obtained for the electromagnetic compartment of the combined calorimeter is 1:7470:04 and agrees with the prediction that e=h > 1:66 for this electromagnetic calorimeter. Results of a study of the longitudinal hadronic shower development are also presented. The data have been taken in the H8 beam line of the CERN SPS using pions of energies from 10 to

“…1The e/h ratio for the curent baseline of the ECAL detector has not been evaluated yet. A value close to 1.7, which is a number measured the ATLAS LAr calorimeter[12], is expected. The value of e/h for the HCAL is quoted in table 1.…”
