The TileCal Laser calibration system

TileCal is the central hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS detector operating at LHC. It is a sampling calorimeter whose active material is made of scintillating plastic tiles. Scintillation light is read by photomultipliers. A laser system is used to monitor their gain stability. This note describes...

Sumario:TileCal is the central hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS detector operating at LHC. It is a sampling calorimeter whose active material is made of scintillating plastic tiles. Scintillation light is read by photomultipliers. A laser system is used to monitor their gain stability. This note describes two complementary methods used to measure stability in time of the photomultipliers gain.
