Technical specification for plate fabrication for the ATLAS Tile Hadron Calorimeter

摘要

The Atlas Collaboration, at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), proposes to build a general purpose proton-proton detector for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located in Geneva, Switzerland. The ATLAS collaboration consists of approximately 100 international institutions (universities and research laboratories) with a worldwide distribution. The ATLAS detector includes a large scintillating tile calorimeter using iron as the absorber material. This detector will be used to identify and measure the by-products of proton-proton collisions that occur at the symmetric center. The design of this detector is unique in that the absorber plates are oriented perpendicular to the colliding beam axis, rather than parallel, as is done in most other similar detectors to date.
