Final definition of sets of photomultipliers for the tile hadron calorimeter of the ATLAS detector.

In order to fulfil to technical and physical requirements, the photomultiplier blocks of the tile hadron calorimeter of ATLAS have to be classified in sets corresponding to different types of cells. This note presents the final setting. It is an update of what has been done in [1]. The main difference is that it takes into account the fact that some cells of the calorimeter are equipped with tiles made of PSM polystyrene and some with tiles made of BASF polystyrene. The output light for BASF tiles is about 25% higher than for PSM ones [2]. To correct a part of this effect of non-uniformity of the calorimeter, it is foreseen here to associate photomultipliers with lower quantum efficiencies to cells equipped with BASF tiles. It leads to define six sets of photomultipliers: two for barrel like super-drawer and four for extended barrel ones. The method used to define the sets is reported and two applications are presented. The first ones takes into account the overall calorimeter needs and is based on 2445 photomultiplers already characterised. The second one is dedicated to the July 2001 calibration beam needs and is limited to the 285 photomultipliers that will be available at that time.
