Automated calibration system for a high-precision measurement of neutrino mixing angle θ13 with the Daya Bay antineutrino detectors
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators …, 2014•Elsevier
We describe the automated calibration system for the antineutrino detectors in the Daya Bay
Neutrino Experiment. This system consists of 24 identical units instrumented on 8 identical
20-ton liquid scintillator detectors. Each unit is a fully automated robotic system capable of
deploying an LED and various radioactive sources into the detector along given vertical
axes. Selected results from performance studies of the calibration system are reported.
