The ATLAS Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) performance results achieved during the first operation phase of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were documented in a paper recently submitted to the European Physics Journal C and available as a preprint in https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02129.

During the first operation phase of the LHC a large amount of collision data was collected at an unprecedented energy, allowing to obtain important physics results, such as the discovery of the Higgs boson. Such achievements wouldn't have been possible without a huge amount of work done at detector level at each sub-system of ATLAS. This effort was developed within the ATLAS Collaboration, an international experiment based at CERN, which includes a few thousands scientists from all over the world, including several IDPASC members.
