摘要: We have successfully built and operated a source deployment system for the KamLAND detector. This was used to position radioactive sources throughout delicate 1-kton liquid scintillator volume, while meeting stringent material cleanliness, compatibility, safety requirements. The calibration data obtained with this device were fully characterize detector energy reconstruction biases. As result, uncertainty in size of fiducial volume reduced by factor two. Prior system, largest systematic measuring number antineutrinos detected KamLAND. paper describes design, operation performance unique system.
