Optical calibration from tens to hundreds of meters for a neutrino telescope

A critical review of the available optical calibration techniques is given in the context of the Neutrino Burst Experiment. We will discuss the effects of the optical properties of water on different candidate light sources and the challenges from an engineering point of view. The merits of candidat...

Description
Summary:A critical review of the available optical calibration techniques is given in the context of the Neutrino Burst Experiment. We will discuss the effects of the optical properties of water on different candidate light sources and the challenges from an engineering point of view. The merits of candidate light sources will be compared.
