The ATLAS Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the central section of the hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment and provides important information for reconstruction of hadrons, jets, hadronic decays of tau leptons and missing transverse energy. This sampling calorimeter uses steel plates as absorber and scintillating tiles as active medium. The light produced by the passage of charged...

The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the hadronic calorimeter covering the central
region of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. This sampling device is made of plastic
scintillating tiles alternated with iron plates and its response is calibrated
to electromagnetic scale by means of several dedicated calibration systems.
The accurate time calibration is important for the energy...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment has implemented a sophisticated two-level online selection system that achieves a rejection factor of nearly 10e5. During Run II, the LHC has increased its centre-of-mass energy up to 13 TeV and will progressively reach an instantaneous luminosity of 2e34cm-2s-1. In order to guarantee a successful and ambitious physics programme under this intense...

The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment is crucial for achieving high resolution measurements of electrons and photons. Maintaining and possibly improving the excellent performance achieved in Run I is vital for measurements of the Standard Model Higgs boson and searches for new higher mass resonances in final states with electrons and photons.
The...

The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the central hadronic calorimeter of
the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It provides precise measurements of
hadrons, jets, taus and missing transverse energy. The monitoring and
calibration of the calorimeter response at each stage of the signal
development is allowed by a movable Cs^{137} radioactive source, a
laser calibration system and a charge injection...

The ATLAS detector was designed and built to study proton-proton collisions produced at the LHC at centre-of-mass energies up to 14 TeV and instantaneous luminosities up to $10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$ s${^-1}$. Liquid argon (LAr) sampling calorimeters are employed for all electromagnetic calorimetry in the pseudorapidity region $|\eta|<3.2$, and for hadronic calorimetry in the region from $|\eta|=1.5$...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment implements a sophisticated two-level triggering system composed of the Level-1, instrumented by custom-design hardware boards, and a software High-Level-Trigger. A new Level-1 trigger architecture with improved performance is now being used to maintain the thresholds used in LHC Run I for the more challenging conditions experienced during Run II.
We...

CASTOR is an electromagnetic and hadronic tungsten-quartz sampling Cerenkov calorimeter located at CMS at the LHC, with pseudorapidity (denoted η) borders at -5.2 and -6.6. To measure in this η acceptance, the (2 tonnes weighing) detector is installed within a distance of 1 cm from the LHC beampipe and at 14.4 m from the interaction point.
CASTOR can measure energy deposits, jets and is very...
