CALIS deploys radioactive sources into the liquid scintillator veto to characterize the detector response and detection efficiency of the DarkSide-50 Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber, and the surrounding 30 t organic liquid scintillator neutron veto. It was commissioned in September 2014 and has been used successfully in several gamma and neutron source campaigns since then. A description of the hardware and an excerpt of calibration analysis results are given below.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 UnportedDark Matter detectors (WIMPs, axions, etc.)Detector alignment and calibration methods (lasers, sources, particle-beams)Article - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/12/12/T1200412
