The ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is an
apparatus of unprecedented complexity, designed to probe physics in
proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies up to 14 TeV.
It was installed in its underground cavern at the LHC during the
period 2004 to 2008. Testing of individual subsystems began
immediately with calibration systems and cosmic rays, and by 2008
full detector systems could be operated with the planned
infrastructure, readout, and monitoring systems. Several
commissioning runs of the full detector were organized in 2008 and
2009. During these runs the detector was operated continuously for
several months with its readout triggered by cosmic ray muons. At
the same time, regular calibrations of individual detector systems
were made. In the course of these runs, signals from tens of
millions of cosmic ray events were recorded. These commissioning
runs continued until the first beam-beam collisions in late 2009.
This volume is a collection of seven performance papers based on
data collected during this commissioning period. Five papers deal
with the response of individual detector systems. One paper
describes the performance of the simulation infrastructure used to
model the detector's response to both cosmic rays and to the later
beam-beam collisions. The final paper describes measurements
drawing on the integrated performance of several detector systems.
It studies lepton identification, the response to low energy
electrons, muon energy loss in the calorimeters, missing ET
effects, and the combined performance for muons when both the muon
spectrometer and the inner tracking detector are used. These papers
summarize the studies of the ATLAS detector performance and
readiness prior to the start of colliding beam data. They are
reprinted from The European Physical Journal C where they were
published between summer 2010 and spring 2011.
