Description
The ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimter consists of precision electromagnetic
accordion calorimeters in the barrel and endcaps, hadronic calorimeters
in the endcaps, and calorimeters in the forward region.
The initial high energy collision data at the LHC experiments is
expected in the spring of 2008. While tools for the reconstruction of
the calorimeter data are quite developed through years of Monte Carlo
simulation and test beam studies, the processing, storing and
archiving of all peripheral meta-data such as calibration constants,
detailed conditions of the sub-detector systems are actively being
worked on. The LAr calorimeter consists of over 180,000 electronic channels.
The reconstruction of all the signal channels with proper calibration and
other conditions is challenging.
The current status of these efforts for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimter
is presented. The interfaces to access, and techniques to store,
the conditions data are introduced. The current effort in commissioning
the detector gives invaluable experience in larger scale application of these methods
and is discussed in detail.
