Abstract
- HL-ZDC will be installed in a harsh radiation environment, requiring a dynamiccalibration system to monitor the detector's performance.
- The most sensitive components are fused silica rods andPMTs.
- A comprehensive monitoring system is difficult to establish for fused silica rods,while PMTs can be easily accessed and pulsed with well-defined light usingLEDs.
- The LED-based monitoring system consists of a printed circuit board (PCB)designed and manufactured at Kansas University (KU).
- During REU work, two prototypes of the light distribution system were designedand fabricated: a homogenizer box and a parabolic reflector.
