Cable loop calibration system for Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory

摘要

A cable loop source calibration system is developed for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, a 20 kton spherical liquid scintillator neutrino experiment. This system is capable of deploying radioactive sources into different positions of the detector in a vertical plane with a few-cm position accuracy. The design and the performance of the prototype are reported in this paper.
