Preparation of Neutron-activated Xenon for Liquid Xenon Detector Calibration
We report the preparation of neutron-activated xenon for the calibration of liquid xenon (LXe) detectors. Gamma rays from the decay of xenon metastable states, produced by fast neutron activation, were detected and their activities measured in a LXe scintillation detector. Following a five-day activation of natural xenon gas with a Cf (4× 10 n/s) source, the activities of two gamma ray lines at...
متن کاملAbsolute Calibration of the Auger Fluorescence Detectors
Absolute calibration of the Pierre Auger Observatory fluorescence detectors uses a light source at the telescope aperture. The technique accounts for the combined effects of all detector components in a single measurement. The calibrated 2.5 m diameter light source fills the aperture, providing uniform illumination to each pixel. The known flux from the light source and the response of the acqu...
متن کاملPMT Calibration in the XENON 1T Demonstrator
XENON Dark Matter Project searches for the dark matter candidate, the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMPs). All XENON experiments use a time projection chamber (TPC) to detect nuclear recoils resulting from WIMP-nuclei scattering. Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) read out the signal from the scintillation and ionization of the xenon triggered by the nuclear recoils. This paper details PMT ga...
متن کاملGeometric Point Light Source Calibration
We present a light position calibration technique based on a general arrangement of at least two reflective spheres in a single image. Contrary to other techniques we do not directly intersect rays for triangulation but instead solve for the optimal light position by evaluating the image-space error of the light highlights reflected from the spheres. This approach has been very successful in th...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength Calibration Procedure for the Pierre Auger Observatory Fluorescence Detectors
We present a method to measure the relative spectral response of the Pierre Auger Observatory Fluorescence Detector. The calibration was done at wavelengths of 320, 337, 355, 380 and 405 nm using an end-to-end technique in which the response of all detector components are combined in a single measurement. A xenon flasher and notch–filters were used as the light source for the calibration device...
