The calibration campaign of the Borexino experiment — •Michael Nieslony for the Borexino collaboration — Institute of Physics, JGU Mainz, Germany

The Borexino experiment is a liquid scintillator detector located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy which was originally aimed at detecting solar neutrinos. The experiment’s exceptional radiopurity levels enabled the spectral measurement of almost the whole pp-fusion-cycle of the sun, including ⁷Be-, pp-, and pep-neutrinos. Besides the solar program, a multitude of analyses ranging from the detection of geoneutrinos up to setting the most stringest limit on the lifetime of the electron were performed.

To ensure the ongoing high-accuracy analysis of the experiment, an extensive calibration campaign is planned for the near future. The basic features and some preliminary studies are presented in this talk.
