The Electronic Performance Paper of LAr
Editor: Katherine Copic
Performance of the Electronic Readout of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeters
Published in JINST
AB S T R AC T: The ATLAS detector has been designed for operation at the Large Hadron Collider
at CERN. ATLAS includes electromagnetic and hadronic liquid argon calorimeters, with almost
200,000 channels of data that must be sampled at the LHC bunch crossing frequency of 40 MHz.
The calorimeter electronics calibration and readout are performed by custom electronics developed
specifically for these purposes. This paper describes the system performance of the ATLAS liquid
argon calibration and readout electronics, including noise, energy and time resolution, and long
term stability, with data taken mainly from full-system calibration runs performed after installation
of the system in the ATLAS detector hall at CERN.
