Description

We present new concepts of timing calibration systems for large-scale Cherenkov arrays in astroparticle physics experiments like Cherenkov arrays detecting extensive air showers (EAS) and water Cherenkov neutrino arrays. The concepts are based on a fast powerful LED light source on board of a pilotless remotely controlled helicopter in case of EAS Cherenkov arrays and on multiple LED sources driven by a single driver. We describe parameters of LED sources developed especially for these kinds of applications and discuss some preliminary results of laboratory and in-situ tests.
