The MINOS Light Injection Calibration System

arXiv:hep-ex/0204021 · doi:10.1016/S0168-9002(02)01293-7

Abstract

A description is given of the light-injection calibration system that has been developed for the MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The system is based upon pulsed blue LEDs monitored by PIN photodiodes. It is designed to measure non-linearities in the PMT gain curves, as well as monitoring any drifts in PMT gain, at the 1% level.
