Description
The KM3NeT collaboration aims at the construction of a multi-km3 high-energy
neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea consisting of a matrix of pressure
resistant glass spheres holding a set (31) of small area photomultipliers. The
main motivation of the telescope is to observe cosmic neutrinos through the
Cerenkov light induced in sea water by charged particles produced in neutrino
interactions with the surrounding medium. A relative time calibration between
photomultipliers of the order of 1 ns is required to achieve an optimal performance.
To this end, several time calibration subsystems have been developed. In this article,
the proposal of a last generation Laser Beacon, intended to be used in KM3NeT and
developed to measure and monitor the relative time offsets between
photomultipliers, is presented
