Construction, assembly and tests of the ATLAS electromagnetic end-cap calorimeters

Journal of Instrumentation, Volume 3, No. 6, Article P06002, Year 2008

The construction and the assembly of the two end-caps of the ATLAS liquid argon electromagnetic calorimeter as well as their test and qualification programs are described. The work described here started at the beginning of 2001 and lasted for approximately three years. The results of the qualification tests performed before installation in the LHC ATLAS pit are given. The detectors are now installed in the ATLAS cavern, full of liquid argon and being commissioned. The complete detectors coverage is powered with high voltage and readout. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.
