Abstract
The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the barrel hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. Its performance and readiness for the LHC collisions based on special calibration runs, detection of cosmic ray muons and single beam events is described in details in Ref. [1].

Notes
- 1.
The laser calibration constants were not used in the calibration loop during 2010 and 2011 data taking, but they are implemented in the energy calibration since 2012 data taking.
- 2.
The spread means the standard deviation (called RMS in ROOT analysis framework [6]), i.e. \(\sqrt{(1/N) \cdot (\sum \nolimits _{i}(x_i-x_\mathrm{mean })^2)}\).
- 3.
It has been found that the electronic noise is largely influenced by the Low Voltage Power Supplies (LVPS). The new generation of the LVPS being currently tested gives promising results with more uniform electronic noise across the \(\eta \) coordinate and almost Gaussian noise distribution.
- 4.
The simulations at the centre of mass energy 14 TeV have been produced for dedicated upgrade studies.
