Super-Kamiokande (SK) is a 50kton water Cherenkov detector. Since starting the experiment, many kinds of calibration has been doing. In this presentation, the calibration in SK will be summarized, and discuss about what is a critical point for water Cherenkov detector calibration. From that point of view, a requirement for HK will also be discussed.

The in situ deployment of radioactive and light sources is among the most important means of calibrating and understanding the response of large water Cherenkov detectors. Such calibration data are the primary means by which the optical properties of the water and the response of the photomultipliers are understood. Given that the Hyper-Kamiokande design calls for ten optically isolated...

The Daya Bay reactor anti-neutrino experiment has made the most precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ to date, using six identical gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator detector modules. A fully automated calibration system was developed to give a comprehensive and robust
calibration of detector response with multiple gamma and neutron sources.
In this talk, I will...

The specific egg-shape geometry of Hyper-Kamiokande poses firstly difficulties for the future calibration campaigns performed in the detector. In contrast to Super-K, the vertical walls would be curved which would limit access to certain regions of the active volume causing unnecessary reduction in the number of calibration locations. As a result, there is a strong urge to develop new,...

The Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment in the US was developing two far detector concepts in parallel. While a liquid Argon time projection chamber was ultimately selected as the far detector technology, we have performed a conceptual design of the calibration requirements and systems needed for a large (200 kTon) water Cherenkov detector. In...
