The Calibration of Hadron Calorimeter Tilecal for the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC Accelerator

This diploma thesis describes calibration of hadron calorimeter Tilecal by muon and electron beams. In the first chapter, some calorimetry concepts and basic variables are mentioned or defined. In the second chapter, a detailed Tilecal description is given, special attention was given to provide an up-to-date information (written in April 2003). In this chapter, Tilecal calibration systems and data-taking during testbeams at CERN laboratory in summer 2002 are described. In the third chapter, results of data analyses of muon theta=90 deg and eta-projective runs taken during June, July and August 2002 testbeam periods are given. Results of analyses of calibration by electron beams measured in August 2002 are shown as well. It is also shown, that results of analyses mentioned above are important for the calorimeter calibration for ATLAS detector and also for checking the status of calibrated calorimeter modules.
