Description
Looking towards first LHC collisions, the ATLAS detector is being
commissioned using all types of physics data available: cosmic rays and
events produced during a few days of LHC single beam operations. In
addition to putting in place the trigger and data acquisition chains,
commissioning of the full software chain is a main goal. This is
interesting not only to ensure that the reconstruction, and monitoring
chains are ready to deal with LHC physics data, but also to
understand the detector performance in view of achieving the physics
requirements. The recorded data have allowed us to study the ATLAS
detector in terms of efficiencies, resolutions, channel integrity,
alignment and calibrations. They have also allowed us to test and optimize
the sub-systems reconstruction as well as some combined algorithms, such
as combined tracking tools and different muon identification algorithms.
The status of the integration of the complete software chain will be
presented as well as the data analysis results.
