Abstract
The response of the ATLAS Calorimeters to hadrons in the energy range between 2 to 350 GeV produced at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) H8 test-beam line has been measured. The article summarizes the results obtained from the combined test-beam, during which a full slice of the ATLAS detector was exposed to the beam. Results are also presented from a dedicated standalone hadron Tile Calorimeter test-beam where this sub-detector had a special configuration to allow measurements of the longitudinal development of pion and proton induced showers up to 20 nuclear interaction lengths. Data results are compared to GEANT4 simulations using several hadronic interaction models.
