Pulse shapes for signal reconstruction in the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter

The ATLAS detector will record proton–proton collisions produced in the Large Hadron Collider at center of mass energies of up to 14 TeV. Its design allows for precision measurements as well as searches for new physics. Energy measurement using the calorimeters is crucial to these efforts. s of the pulse shapes used for signal reconstruction in the Tile Calorimeter are presented. The shapes were measured using test beam data and found to vary slightly with signal size. The impact of this variation on the reconstructed energy has been determined using a toy Monte Carlo.
