Hi,
I was looking for ATLAS detector parts resolutions (momentum for Inner Detector and Energy for the CAL systems).
Does anyone have a nice reference?
So far I found something like this for the ID:
[itex]\sigma_{1/p_T} = 0.34 \text{TeV}^{-1} \Big(1 \oplus \frac{44 \text{GeV}}{p_T} \Big)[/itex]
With ##\oplus## meaning that the two terms are added in quadrature and then the square root is taken.
However this formula was from Run1 and before the installation of the B-Layer.
Has the last altered this expression?

Similarily for the ECAL:
[itex]\frac{\sigma_E}{E(\text{GeV})} = \frac{a}{\sqrt{E(\text{GeV})}} \oplus b[/itex]
[itex]a_{\text{design}}=10 \%[/itex]
[itex]b_{\text{design}}=0.7 \%[/itex]
or from tests on e, μ and pions:
[itex]a_{\text{exper}}=10.7 \%[/itex]
[itex]b_{\text{exper}}=0.5 \%[/itex]
(http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/3/08/S08003/meta)

Do you know if they have changed (ref)?
I don't think that the dependencies will be changed (1/p or sqrt(1/E) ) but the numbers in front probably have.

Thanks.

You can simply go through the list of things ATLAS published, e. g. this page for the performance of the inner detector tracking. Found with google: "atlas inner detector momentum resolution".
