The measured supercell (SC) transverse energies (ET) from all layers of the LAr Electromagnetic Barrel (EMB) and Electromagnetic Endcaps (EMEC) are compared to the summed transverse energies from their constituent calorimeter cells, obtained through the main readout path. The data are from a single event of a beam splash run, where energy calculations are performed offline using optimal filtering with preliminary calibration constants. A good agreement is observed between the two readouts, as indicated by the y=x diagonal red line. |

LAr cell energies in the Forward Calorimeter (FCal) modules for a beam splash event from October 2021. The particles were delivered by Beam 1 (B1) and entered from the positive η (A) side. From left to right the plots show the energies in the first, second and third module, counted as seen from the centre of the detector. In the upper row for the A-side and in the lower row for the C-side. In total the displayed LAr layers recorded 1.723 PeV in this event. Many cells saturated the electronics readout and are visible as areas with either too low or too high energy like in the inner regions of the A-side modules. |

Average time per front end board (FEB) in the LAr electromagnetic barrel (EMB) with collision data at s1/2 = 900 GeV collected during LHC pilot beam of October 2021. The average time for one FEB is the result of a Gaussian fit on the time distribution from pulses reconstructed from medium and high gain for all channels of this FEB. The system was aligned with respect to the barrel side A using beam splash events. This preliminary time alignment will be further tuned to improve the uniformity and the observed residual bias. |

Average time per front end board (FEB) in the LAr electromagnetic end-cap (EMEC) with collision data at s1/2 = 900 GeV collected during LHC pilot beam of October 2021. The average time for one FEB is the result of a Gaussian fit on the time distribution from pulses reconstructed from medium and high gain for all channels of this FEB. The system was aligned using beam splash events from beam 2 (from side C to side A) and not accounting for the shift of 3.1 m of the side C, causing a misalignment between side A and side C. This preliminary time alignment will be further tuned to improve the uniformity and the observed residual bias. |

Cell time distribution as a function of η in beam splash events from ATLAS Run 405495 selected by calorimeter triggers using the energy deposits in Endcap C (negative η) with the particles delivered by LHC Beam 1 (B1) entering from the Endcap A side (positive η). The LAr calorimeter was operated in 32-sample readout mode and an Optimal Filtering Coefficient (OFC) iteration procedure was applied to identify the particle arrival time. Only cells for which the OFC iteration procedure has converged are used. Further requirements on the pulse quality and minimum deposited energy are applied. The cell time was adjusted to account for the time of flight of particles traveling parallel to the beam axis and to correct for the Endcap C being in the open position (Δz=3100 mm). |

Cell time distribution as a function of η in beam splash events from ATLAS Run 405495 selected by calorimeter triggers using either the energy deposits in either Endcap A (positive η) or Endcap C (negative η). The particles entered from the side opposite to the one used for the trigger. The LAr calorimeter was operated in 32-sample readout mode and an Optimal Filtering Coefficient (OFC) iteration procedure was applied to identify the peaking time of the pulse. Only cells for which the OFC iteration procedure has converged are used. Further requirements on the pulse quality and minimum deposited energy are applied.

The data are from events of the beam splash ATLAS Run 405495 with the particles delivered by LHC Beam 1 (from side A to side C). Prior to taking the data, a preliminary BCID alignement was performed using cosmic and calibration data. This level of alignment is expected to be 2 BCID in the central region and up to 10 in the outer region. |
