 | Mechanical structure of a TileCal module, showing the slots in the steel for scintillating tiles and the method of light collection by wavelength-shifting fibres to PMs. The holes for radioactive source tubes that traverse the module perpendicularly to the iron plates and scintillating tiles are also shown. |

 | Cell structure in half long-barrel (a) and extended-barrel (b) modules of the calorimeter. Solid lines show the cell boundaries formed by grouping optical fibers from the tiles for read out by separate photomultipliers. Also shown are dashed lines of fixed pseudo-rapidity $\eta$~\cite{PERF-2007-01}. |

 | : Distributions of the reconstructed energy $E^\text{raw}$ obtained analyzing pion (a), kaon (b) and proton (c) data with $E_\text{beam}$ = 16 GeV. The blue dotted histograms represent the experimental data. Only statistical uncertainties are shown. The dashed curves in red correspond to the fit of a Gaussian function to the experimental data in a region ±2$\sigma$ around the peak value. The black histograms correspond to the predictions of the MC simulation. |

The experimental uncertainties include statistical and systematic effects combined in quadrature. Only statistical uncertainties affect simulated results. The red dashed (black dotted) curves are fits of the Eq.~(\ref{eq:parametrization_results}) to the experimental (simulated) data points. In case of experimental determinations the dashed blue strips display the correlated systematic uncertainties. In the bottom of the histograms are shown the fractional differences $\Delta E^{\langle \text{raw} \rangle}$ defined in Eq.~(\ref{eq:Delta_E^raw}).
