The Liquid Argon calorimeter (LAr) is a key detector component in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The LAr calorimeter has been installed in the ATLAS cavern and filled with liquid argon since 2006. We present results assessing the liquid argon calorimeter performance obtained using random triggers, calibration data, cosmic muons, and LHC beam splash events (from fall 2008 LHC running)....

The calorimeter system of LHCb consists of an electromagnetic and a hadronic calorimeter (ECAL and HCAL), as well as of a scintillator layer (SPD) and a pre-shower detector (PS) that contribute to the identification of hadrons, photons, pi0s and electrons. The calorimeter system plays a key role at the first level of the LHCb trigger, for which it provides high pT candidates and particle...

100. Test Beam Performance of the CALICE SiW Electromagnetic Calorimeter Physics Prototype

A prototype of a highly granular SiW electromagnetic calorimeter composed of approximately 10000 cells contained in a volume of 18x18x30 cm^3 for an ILC detector has been examined in test beam campaigns conducted by the CALICE collaboration. Within the test beam environment a signal over noise ratio has been found to be 7.5 compared with the goal of 10 as envisaged for an ILC detector. The...
