摘要
IceCube 立方体中微子观测站面积约 1 km，位于地理南极的深冰中，计划在 2025/26 年南极夏季部署 IceCube Upgrade。Upgrade 将由七组新的传感器字符串密集布置在现有阵列的底部中心位置。除了对中微子振荡具有世界领先的灵敏度外，主要目标是提高对仪器冰中光学性质的校准。这将应用于整个 IceCube 数据档案，改善检测中微子事件的角分辨率和能量分辨率。为此，Upgrade 字符串中包含众多新的校准装置。除了专用的校准模块外，数千个 LED 闪烁器被集成到 photosensor 模块中。我们描述了这些 LED 闪烁器在集成到传感器模块之前的设计、生产和测试过程，以及在实验室测试装配好的传感器模块时使用 LED 闪烁器的做法。
