Pierre-Auger PMT School
& SD/FD Calibration Workshop


Organized by Katsushi Arisaka & Arun Tripathi

  • Date and Place:
    • April 26 - April 27
    • At Malargue, Conference Center

  • Purpose of the Workshop:
    • To become familiar with fundamental principle of PMT and calibration methods.
    • To understand possible systematic errors in Auger-SD/FD energy measurement.
    • To discuss SD/FD cross energy calibration methods.
    • To visit newly developed UCLA/UTN PMT Testing/Assembly facility.
