Calibration algorithms of RPC detectors at Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment

Abstract

During the commissioning of RPC detector systems at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, calibration algorithms were developed and tuned, in order to evaluate and optimize the performance of the RPC detectors. Based on a description of the hardware structure of the RPC detector systems, this paper introduces the algorithms used for detector calibration, including trigger rate, efficiency, noise rate, purity and muon flux.
