Description
The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the central hadronic calorimeter of the
ATLAS experiment presently in an advanced state of installation and
commissioning at the LHC accelerator.
The complexity of the experiment, the number of electronics channels and the
high rate of acquired events requires a detailed commissioning of the detector,
during the installation phase of the experiment and in the early life of ATLAS,
to verify the correct behaviour of the hardware and software systems.
This is done through the acquisition, monitoring, reconstruction and validation
of calibration signals as well as cosmic muon data.
To assess the detector status and verify its performance a set of tools have
been developed spanning from the hardware detector verification tests and the
online monitoring to the offline reconstruction. Tools allowing for a fast
and partly automated analysis of the result have been also developed. The
system is completed with web interfaces to allow for remote monitoring and
data quality assessment.
This set of tools is the prototype of the final TileCal data quality system
that is under development and it is highly integrated with all ATLAS online
and offline frameworks.
A review of the TileCal data quality system, current developments and the
future foreseen upgrades will be presented together with a selection of
results.
