The XY scanner - A versatile method of the absolute end-to-end calibration of fluorescence detectors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One of the crucial detector systems of the Pierre Auger Observatory is the fluorescence detector composed of 27 large-aperture wide-angle Schmidt telescopes. In the past, these telescopes were absolutely calibrated by illuminating the whole aperture with a uniform large-diameter light source. This absolute calibration was performed roughly once every three years, while a relative calibration was performed on a nightly basis. In this contribution, a new technique for an absolute end-to-end calibration of the fluorescence telescopes is presented. For this technique, a portable, calibrated light source mounted on a rail system is moved across the aperture of each telescope instead of illuminating the whole aperture at once. A dedicated setup using a combination of NIST traceable photodiodes to measure the mean intensity and a PMT for pulse-to-pulse stability tracking has been built for the absolute calibration of the light source.
