Description

The ATLAS experiment records data from the proton-proton collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Tile Calorimeter is the hadronic sampling calorimeter of ATLAS in the region |η| < 1.7. It uses iron absorbers and scintillators as the active material. Cosmic ray data are used to validate the energy scale and inter-calibration between different layers and regions of the Tile calorimeter. The cosmic data collected in 2015-2017 are used in this study.
