posted on 2023-06-08, 06:15 authored by P Adamson, J Alner, B Anderson, T Chase, P J Dervan, T Durkin, Elisabeth FalkElisabeth Falk, Philip Harris, D G Michael, R Morse, R Nichol, R Saakyan, C Smith, P N Smith, J Thomas, R Webb, R F WhiteA 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.

Notes
I and my group were responsible for designing, developing, delivering the light-injection calibration system essential to MINOS, a major international neutrino-oscillation experiment that confirmed (atmospheric) neutrino oscillations and mass splitting. I wrote this paper. My approach copied on several experiments since.Full text available
