Abstract

The lateral and longitudinal profiles of hadronic showers detected by a pro totype of the ATLAS Iron-Scintillator Tile Hadron Calorimeter have been inv estigated. This calorimeter presents a unique longitudinal configuration of scintillator tiles. Using a fine-grained pion beam scan at 100 GeV. a deta iled picture of transverse shower behaviour is obtained. The underlying rad ial energy densities for the four depth segments and for the entire calorim eter have been reconstructed. A three-dimensional hadronic shower parametri sation has been developed. The results presented here are useful for unders tanding the performance of iron-scintillator calorimeters, for developing f ast simulations of hadronic showers, for many calorimetry problems requirin g the integration of a shower energy deposition in a volume and for future calorimeters design.
