Calibration of the LHAASO-KM2Ausing extensive air showers  Lv Hongkui Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences TIPP2017, Beijing, China Outline Introduction Requirement of KM2A-EDs A automatic calibration method using EASs -- Principle -- Experimental calibration cross - check -- Calibration results precision Conclusion One square kilometer array (KM2A) : 5242 electromagnetic particle detectors (EDs) 1171 muon detecters Water Cherenkov Detector Array 78,000 m2 Wide Field Cherenkov telescope Array Coverage area: 1.3 km2 Altitude: 4400 m a.s.l. LHAASO-KM2A As a main component of LHAASO, the 1km2 array (KM2A) has several physics goals such as: Origin of cosmic rays ; UHE gamma sky survey ; Energy spectrum measurement ; … Performance of the KM2A Value Energy range 10 TeV~100 PeV Sensitivity 1%Crab @ 50 TeV Angular resolution ~0.5o @ 30 TeV Background rejection Backgroung free above 50 TeV Electromagnetic particle detectors (EDs) Specifications of ED Value Effective area 1 m2 Number of scintillation tiles 4 Size of each scintillation tile 100×25×2.5 cm3 Number of WLS fibers 32 / tile Lead (0.5 cm) Scintillation tiles (2 cm) Requirement of electromagnetic particle detectors (EDs) High precision time synchronization: the direction of the primary cosmic ray is directly related to the particle arrival times recorded. Timing calibration is critical to guarantee the optimal angular resolution. Wide dynamic range: the particle density varies significantly due to the large variation in the primary energy (10 TeV - 100 PeV) of cosmic rays and different distances of detectors from the shower core. Requirement Value Precision of time synchronization among all EDs 0.5 ns Time resolution 2 ns Dynamic range 1 – 104 particles/m2 Detection efficiency 95 % Challenge: The huge number of EDs extremely demand on a fast, high precision and real-time calibration procedure; Exceed the capability of traditional methods; A automat
