The local hadronic calibration scheme developed for the reconstruction and calibration of jets and missing transverse energy in ATLAS has been evaluated using data obtained during combined beam tests ...of modules of the ATLAS liquid argon endcap and forward calorimeters. These tests covered the pseudorapidity range of 2.5<|η|<4.0. The analysis has been performed using special sets of calibration weights and corrections obtained with the Geant4 simulation of a detailed beam-test setup. The evaluation itself has been performed through the careful study of specific calorimeter performance parameters such as e.g. energy response and resolution, shower shapes, as well as different physics lists of the Geant4 simulation.

We describe a facility for testing the properties of different objects affected by a sequence of highpower pulses of the microwave electromagnetic field. The facility performance is implemented due ...to the power level and stability of the single-mode generation of a free electron maser with an output frequency of 30 GHz, which have been achieved at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and the Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This paper describes the experiments on studying of the thermal fatigue of the copper surface in a test cavity, which models the thermal regime of the accelerating structure of the CLIC project (CERN), as well as the experiments on irradiation of biological tissues, metal films, and nanoclusters.

at the CERN SPS. Data have been taken in the endcap and forward calorimeter regions as well as in the transition region. This beam test set-up corresponds very closely to the geometry and support structures in ATLAS. A detailed study of the performance in the endcap and forward calorimeter regions is described. The data are compared with MC simulations based on GEANT 4 models.
A free-electron maser (FEM) with a double-mirror resonator involving a new modification of Bragg structures operating on coupled propagating and quasi-cutoff (trapped) modes has been studied. The ...presence of trapped waves in the feedback chain improves the selectivity of Bragg resonators and ensures stable single-mode generation regime at a considerable superdimensionality of the interaction space. The possibility of using the new feedback mechanism has been confirmed by experiments with a 30-GHz FEM pumped by the electron beam of LIU-3000 (JINR) linear induction accelerator, in which narrow-band generation was obtained at a power of ∼10 MW and a frequency close to the cutoff frequency of the trapped mode excited in the input Bragg reflector.

ATLAS impact position around the pseudorapidity interval 1.6 < |eta| < 1.8. The
beam test set-up is described. A detailed study of the performance is given as
well as the related intercalibration constants obtained. Following the ATLAS
hadronic calibration proposal, a first study of the hadron calibration using a
weighting ansatz is presented. The results are compared to predictions from
Monte Carlo simulations, based on GEANT 3 and GEANT 4 models.
