TL;DR: In this paper, a light-injection calibration system was developed for the MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, which is based upon pulsed blue LEDs monitored by PIN photodiodes.
Abstract: A description is given of the light-injection calibration system that has been developed for the MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The system is based upon pulsed blue LEDs monitored by PIN photodiodes. It is designed to measure non-linearities in the PMT gain curves, as well as monitoring any drifts in PMT gain, at the 1% level.
