More Information: The new experiment will require upgrades of detectors, electronics and data acquisition equipment to handle the much higher data volumes and slightly higher instantaneous rates. In particular, it will require a continuous monitoring and state-of-art calibration of the detectors, whose response may vary on both the short timescale of a single fill, and on the long one of an entire run. This will be attained by sending trains of calibrated laser pulses simultaneously on all the detectors.
