Design of the Guide Tube Calibration System for the JUNO experiment

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is designed to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy using a 20 kton liquid scintillator detector. To calibrate the detector boundary effect, the Guide Tube Calibration System (GTCS) has been designed to deploy a radioactive source along a given longitude on the outer surface of the detector. In this paper, we studied the physics case of this system via simulation, which leads to a mechanical design.
