A fiber-optic-based calibration system for the High Resolution Fly's Eye cosmic ray observatory
Abstract
This article describes the fiber-optic-based calibration system installed at the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) astro-particle physics observatory. The HiRes detectors measure ultra violet scintillation light from distant extensive air showers. This automated calibration system delivers light from a frequency tripled 355 nm YAG laser to the 10,752 photo-multiplier tubes of the 42 HiRes-II detectors.
