Description

A study of the response, uniformity, and time stability of the E-cells of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter is presented using isolated muons from $Z \to \mu\mu$ events in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13.6$~TeV. The E-cells, located in the gap and crack regions, measure the energy deposited in passive material and require dedicated calibration. This study provides an independent muon-based validation of the E-cell energy scale and complements the standard Minimum Bias calibration, contributing to the understanding of detector performance under Run 3 conditions.
