Objective
ATLAS is a worldwide collaboration (more than 100 institutes) for a large proton-proton experiment at LHC. A subgroup of 14 institutes from Europe, USA and NIS countries is working on a hadronic tile calorimeter which is a large size ATLAS subdetector (about 2500 tons). The operation of this calorimeter has been experimentally proven from 10 tons prototype tests and the full-scale feasibility from industrial studies.
Even though the ATLAS choice of this tile calorimeter was based on simplicity, performance and cost, only the combined capabilities of these institutes made it possible to reach the required state-of-the-art. In particular, the know-how of the Russian institutes to make moulded tiles was crucial in the ATLAS decision.
In the framework of the project the following work will be done: robot for fibre insertion; fibre polishing and optimization; calibration of the calorimeter including electronics; scintillating tiles by molding; study of dopants; iron absorber sheets; steel cutting and tools; shielding of photomultipliers; tool for fiber polishing; shielding simulations; and shielding of photomultipliers.
