Description
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN uses a
scintillator-iron technique for its hadronic Tile Calorimeter (TileCal). A unique
feature of TileCal is that the scintillating tiles are oriented perpendicular to
the colliding beams and staggered in depth. All three TileCal cylinders were
assembled in the ATLAS experimental cavern and moved to their final
position. The final services for the central cylinder were installed and certified
and currently the commissioning of the readout and the electronics is being
performed. The status of the TileCal is presented as well as results from
extensive test beam programs. Measurements of cosmic muons performed
in the ATLAS cavern together with the electromagnetic liquid argon
calorimeter and the muon chambers are shown.
