The ARGO-YBJ experiment is mainly devoted to search for astronomical gamma sources. The arrival direction of air showers is reconstructed thanks to the times measured by the pixels of the detector. Therefore, the timingcalibration of the detector pixels is crucial in order to get the best angular resolution and pointing accuracy.

Abstract
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is mainly devoted to search for astronomical gamma sources. The arrival direction of air showers is reconstructed thanks to the times measured by the pixels of the detector. Therefore, the timingcalibration of the detector pixels is crucial in order to get the best angular resolution and pointing accuracy. Because of the large number of pixels a hardware timingcalibration is practically impossible. Therefore an off-line softwarecalibration has been adopted. Here, the details of the procedure and the results are presented.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
