论文摘要
我们描述了对Icecube Neutminino天文台中的每个In-In-In-In-Mamamatsu Photonics R7081-02 [MOD]光电倍增管的改进的单光电荷电荷分布的原位校准。单个PMT电荷分布的表征对于PMT校准,数据和蒙特卡洛模拟协议和理解检测器内硬件差异的影响很重要。我们讨论了单个光电子识别程序,以及如何使用多光授电子电荷分布的反卷积提取单光电荷电荷分布。
We describe an improved in-situ calibration of the single-photoelectron charge distributions for each of the in-ice Hamamatsu Photonics R7081-02[MOD] photomultiplier tubes in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The characterization of the individual PMT charge distributions is important for PMT calibration, data and Monte Carlo simulation agreement, and understanding the effect of hardware differences within the detector. We discuss the single photoelectron identification procedure and how we extract the single-photoelectron charge distribution using a deconvolution of the multiple-photoelectron charge distribution.
