Aim of the Workshop
The ATLAS combined performance groups and the calorimeter communities plan a two-day
working meeting to discuss calibration strategies for the Liquid Argon and Tile
Calorimeters. The goals of this meeting are:
- Review, understand and evaluate the strategies employed by the various
calorimeter working groups in ATLAS to achieve final energy calibration,
especially with respect to calibration models used in presently operating large
scale heterogeneous calorimeter systems (D0, CDF, H1);
- Generate a short-term work plan for implementation of calibration algorithms
in ATHENA, to allow a somewhat realistic reconstruction of data from the
upcoming Data Challenge 1 in each calorimeter module;
- Initiate a close collaboration between interested groups and people for
calibration of the ATLAS calorimeters for "Day 1" of physics (and beyond) and
integrate it and all follow-up activities into the present combined performance
groups. The results of the workshop will be summarized and presented to the
larger community as soon as possible.
The scope of the workshop has intentionally been limited to aspects beyond
details of the calibration of the readout chain for certain detectors.
Specifically excluded are issues related to electronics calibration.
Discussed subjects will include final calibration of reconstructed calorimeter
signal objects, which includes global strategies for combining signals from
various calorimeters, and treatment of crack regions. Some emphasis will be
put on the use of testbeam data and collision physics (in-situ calibration)
for energy scale normalization, and the determination of the corresponding
errors. Calibration of physics objects in specific final states is, on the
other hand, beyond the scope of this particular workshop.
The ATLAS calorimeter group at MPI Munich welcomes to host the workshop at
Ringberg Castle, which in its remote setting provides a productive working
atmosphere.
