Performance of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter

The Tile Calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is the central hadronic calorimeter designed for energy reconstruction of hadrons, jets, tau-particles and missing transverse energy. The performance of the calorimeter has been studied employing cosmic ray muons and the large sample of proton-proton collisions acquired during the Run 1 of LHC (2010-2012). Results on the calorimeter performance on absolute energy scale, timing, noise and associated stabilities are presented. The results show that the Tile Calorimeter performance is within the design requirements of the detector.
