Description

A series of Test-Beam setup campaigns took place since 2015 until 2018 where the LHC has been shut down for the next 2 years (LHC Long Shut down). During the Test-Beam campaigns the phase-II upgrade electronic prototypes have been evaluated and to help with estimate provisions for future commissioning efforts. The primary objective of the Test-Beam campaigns for ATLAS Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is to assess the status of the Demonstrator module, TileCal drawer modules that are equipped with upgrade specific electronics, and two module that are equipped with the current legacy system electronics. The modules were exposed to muons, electrons, and hadrons at different energies to assess their performance. An overview of the Test-Beam campaigns is discussed and some results of the data collected from the modules are shown.
