The ideal (pointing) ATLAS coordinate system
The , , and quantities for a point in the ideal (pointing) ATLAS coordinate system are defined in the usual way. Using a cylindrical coordinate system, we obtain the following relations:

HEC readout channel geometry parameters
For the beam test analysis, the HEC readout channel geometry parameters are kept in a file, available from http://particle.phys.uvic.ca/~web-atlas/atlas/hec-emec/geometry/
It contains HEC readout channel “median” coordinates in the ideal (pointing) ATLAS coordinate system:
These quantities do not in general denote the geometrical center of a readout channel. Rather, we have

Readout families and readout channels
A readout channel is composed of either one or two readout families (denoted a and b in order of increasing z)
The z position of the middle of a family (zF) and the z width of a family (zF) are related to the readout channel parameters:

Pseudorapidity limits In the HEC, the pseudorapidity limits of a readout family refer to the middle of a module
and to the middle z (zF) of a family there are seven HEC readout families in ATLAS, 5 only in the
2002 combined beam test. Consider the following schematic (not to scale!) of a HEC family in
the - plane;

Readout channel volume and geometrical center In the case of readout channels with one family, we use the results obtained for that family In the case of readout channels with two families, we weigh each family by their volume
From the previous results we obtain

Readout channel volume
The following readout channel volumes are obtained
2002 HEC-EMEC beam test configuration. The numbers refer to the channel numbers for this beam test

Readout channel geometrical center
The median center can be a few cm away from the geometrical center, the difference is (almost completely) in z
c c c0.009 0.0015 3.7 cmz z
2002 HEC-EMEC beam test configuration. The numbers refer to the channel numbers for this beam test
No difference in z for layer 1 since all the channels are composed of only one family.
This is also the case for the lowest eta channels in layer 3

Readout channel neighbors The pseudo-pointing nature of the HEC channels lead to
peculiarities in the list of neighbors for a channel Consider three target channels (blue) and their touching
neighbors (red)
2002 HEC-EMEC beam test configuration. The numbers refer to the channel numbers for this beam test
Notice these are not touching neighbors, as would be obtained if only eta indices were considered
