This paper discusses hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS barrel prototype combined calorimeter (consisting of a lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and an iron-scintillator hadronic part) in the framework of the non-parametrical method. The non-parametrical method utilizes only the known $e/h$ ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a minimization technique. Thus, this technique lends itself to an easy use in a first level trigger. The reconstructed mean values of the hadron energies are within $pm 1%$ of the true values and the fractional energy resolution is $[(58pm3)% /sqrt{E}+(2.5pm0.3)%]oplus (1.7pm0.2)/E$. The value of the $e/h$ ratio obtained for the electromagnetic compartment of the combined calorimeter is $1.74pm0.04$ and agrees with the prediction that $e/h > 1.7$ for this electromagnetic calorimeter. Results of a study of the longitudinal hadronic shower development are also presented. The data have been taken in the H8 beam line of the CERN SPS using pions of energies from 10 to 300 GeV.

Hadron energy reconstruction for the Atlas barrel prototype combined calorimeter, consisting of the lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and the iron-scintillator hadronic part, in the framework of the non-parametrical method has been fulfilled. This method uses only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a minimization technique and can be used for the fast energy reconstruction in the first level trigger. The obtained reconstruction of the mean values of energies is within $pm 1%$ and the fractional energy resolution is $[(58pm3)% sqrt{GeV}/sqrt{E}+(2.5pm0.3)%]oplus (1.7pm0.2) GeV/E$. The obtained value of the e/h ratio for electromagnetic compartment of the combined calorimeter is $1.74pm0.04$ and agrees with the prediction that $e/h > 1.7$ for this electromagnetic calorimeter. The results of the study of the longitudinal hadronic shower development are presented. The data have been taken in the H8 beam line of the CERN SPS using pions of 10 -- 300 GeV.
The intrinsic performance of the ATLAS barrel and extended barrel calorimeters for the measurement of charged pions is presented. Pion energy scans (E = 20, 50, 200, 400 and 1000 GeV) at two pseudo-rapidity points ($eta$ = 0.3 and 1.3) and pseudorapidity scans ($-0.2 < eta < 1.8$) with pions of constant transverse energy ($E_T = 20$ and 50 GeV) are analysed. A simple approach, that accounts in first order for non-compensation and dead material effects, is used for the pion energy reconstruction. The intrinsic performances of the calorimeter are studied: resolution, linearity, effect of dead material, tails in the energy distribution. The effect of electronic noise, cell energy cuts and restricted cone size are investigated.
The new simple method of the energy reconstruction for a combined calorimeter, which we called the e/h method, is suggested. It uses only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a minimization technique. The method has been tested on the basis of the 1996 test beam data of the combined calorimeter and demonstrated the correctness of the reconstruction of the mean values of energies. The obtained fractional energy resolution is $[(58pm3)%/sqrt{E}+(2.5pm0.3)%]oplus (1.7pm0.2)/E$. This algorithm can be used for the fast energy reconstruction in the first level trigger.
We present first results from the ATLAS Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDC) based on 7~TeV pp collision data recorded in 2010. The ZDC coverage of +/-~350 microradians about the forward direction makes possible the measurement of neutral particles (primarily pi0s and neutrons) over the kinematic region x_F >~0.1 and out to p_T<~ 1.2 GeV/c at large x_F. The ATLAS ZDC is unique in that it provides a complete image of both electromagnetic and hadronic showers.This is illustrated with the reconstruction of pi0s with energies of 0.7-3.5 TeV. We also discuss the waveform reconstruction algorithm which has allowed good time-of-flight resolution on leading neutrons emerging from the collisions despite the sparse (40 MHz) sampling of the calorimeter signals used.
This report is to provide a novel method for the lepton energy calibration at Hadron Collider Experiments. The method improves the classic lepton energy calibration procedure widely used at hadron collider experiments. The classic method parameterizes the potential bias in the lepton en- ergy calibration, and determines the value of the parameter by the invariant mass of $Z/gamma^*rightarrow ell^+ell^-$ events. The precision of the calibration is dominated by the number of parameters or terms consid- ered in the parameterization, for example, a polynomial extension. With one physics constraint of the reconstructed Z boson mass, the classic procedure can use and determine one parameter. The novel method improves the precision of lepton calibration by introducing more terms in the parameterization. To precisely determine the values of multiple parameters, the method first ac- quires more constraints by separating the $Z/gamma^*rightarrow ell^+ell^-$ samples according to the decay kinematics, and then reduces the correlation between multiple parameters. Since the new method is still using the reconstructed Z boson masses as the only constraints, it is much faster and easier than detailed study of detector simulations.
