Radioactive source control and electronics for the ATLAS tile calorimeter cesium calibration system
Description
A system using a radioactive 137Cs source to calibrate and monitor the Hadron Calorimeter (TileCal) of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is described. The system includes a set of sensors to monitor the position of the source which moves via hydraulic propulsion. The design of the sensors, the corresponding electronic modules and their performance are detailed
