Description

The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is a sampling hadronic calorimeter covering the
central region of the ATLAS detector. The TileCal provides important information
for reconstruction of hadrons, jets, hadronic decays of tau leptons, missing
transverse energy and assists in muon identification. The annual operation of the
TileCal follows that of the ATLAS detector and by extension the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). The LHC schedule is segmented into discrete periods defined and
agreed upon by the LHC and the experiments located along its circumference.
This talk will present the activities of the TileCal collaboration that took place from
last period of physics data taking in 2022 up until the first stable beams in 2023.
A chronological approach will be used to provide insight into the operation of the
TileCal with key milestones such as the Year-End Technical Stop, detector
calibration, detector commissioning, dedicated tests, beam splash events and the
first stable beam collisions being covered.
