| Summary: | The cubic-kilometre neutrino telescope (KM3NeT) is a piece of deep-sea infrastructure composed of two neutrino telescopes consisting of large-scale 3D arrays of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). KM3NeT is currently under construction on the Mediterranean seabed. The two telescopes are ARCA, near Sicily, which is designed for neutrino astronomy, and ORCA, near Toulon, France, designed for measurement of neutrino oscillations. The ORCA telescope, having a neutrino energy threshold in the GeV range, has as its main research goal the measurement of the neutrino mass ordering and atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters. In this paper, we discuss the calibration procedures which are necessary to achieve these purposes.
