Description

The KM3 Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) will be a deep-sea multidisciplinary observatory in the Mediterranean Sea. The Physics Laboratory of the Hellenic Open University is involved in the characterization of KM3NeT components. The present work describes measurement techniques for the functional characteristics of the candidate KM3NeT photomultipliers. These characteristics include dark current, transit time spread, gain slope and single photoelectron characteristics, as well as delayed and after pulses.
