Abstract

This work presents an analysis using the Monte Carlo method of the variation in the parameters of the reading circuits of the ATLAS Hadronic Calorimeter, used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Investigate how variations in the values of circuit components affect the amplitude of the response pulse, a crucial characteristic for the precision of the energy concentration of the detected particles. The study specifies which components have the greatest influence on the circuit’s output and estimates the impact that the variation of a single component can have on the final pulse. In this way, the uncertainty of the measurement as a result of the reading circuit is determined.
