Time and amplitude calibration of the Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope

Abstract

The first stage of the Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope will be composed of 2304 sensors, Optical Modules (OMs), installed deep underwater in Lake Baikal. In April 2015 the first autonomous part of the future detector, called cluster, was installed. We describe developed calibration methods which use OM LEDs, the calibration LED source, atmospheric muons and discuss the performance of these methods.
