High Depth

A very large volume neutrino telescope is being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea by the KM3NeT collaboration. Thousands of glass spheres holding a set of 31 small-area photomultipliers will be deployed at high depth forming a three-dimensional matrix. The glass spheres are the basic elements that will detect the Cherenkov light induced by charged particles produced in neutrino interactions with the surrounding matter. Time synchronization between photomultipliers is required to achieve optimal performance. Due to the high volume to be covered by KM3NeT, a cost reduction of the different systems is a priority. To this end a very low price calibration device, the so called Nanobeacon, has been designed and developed. In this article the main characteristics of the device are described.

Baikal-GVD is a cubic-kilometer scale neutrino telescope, which is currently under construction in Lake Baikal. Baikal-GVD is an array of optical modules arranged in clusters. The first cluster of the array has been deployed and commissioned in April 2015. To date, Baikal-GVD consists of 3 clusters with 864 optical modules. One of the vital conditions for optimal energy, position and direction reconstruction of the detected particles is the time calibration of the detector. In this article, we describe calibration equipment and methods used in Baikal-GVD and demonstrate the accuracy of the calibration procedures.

Detection Unit

The KM3NeT detectors are large three-dimensional arrays of several thousands digital optical modules under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. The basic detection element of the neutrino telescope is the digital optical module containing 31 three-inch photomultiplier tubes. Each detection unit, composed of 18 digital optical modules, is a mechanical structure anchored to the sea floor, held vertical by a submerged buoy for the detection of Cherenkov light emitted by charged secondary particles emerging from neutrino interactions. Detector calibration, i.e. timing, positioning and sea-water properties, is overviewed in this talk and discussed in detail in this conference.
