- Abstract:
- Abstract: With neutrino astronomy on the rise, calibration aspects of large-volume detectors are becoming one of the key targets to boost detector performance. In the scope of the IceCube Upgrade planned for the South Pole season of 2022/23, we developed a novel, isotropic, self-monitoring, precision calibration light source. We present the device characteristics as well as first studies of calibration impacts for different detection environments.
