A multiplexed optical-fiber system for the PMT calibration of the Borexino experiment
We illustrate the PMT calibration system design for the Borexino experiment and the results of various feasibility tests performed.
Effects of absorption and reemission of photons in large scintillation counters on the quantities measured by an observing phototubes

Setting of the Predefined Multiplier Gain of a Photomultiplier
Method for setting the predefined gain of a photomultiplier with high precision and minimal operator participation, used for Borexino.
Methods for precise photoelectron counting with photomultipliers
Measurements has been performed on a THORN EMI 9351 phototube in order to investigate its response to a low light intensity. Precise procedures to determine the intensity of the incident photon flux have been developed and compared. The data show that the various approaches give consistent and reliable results, thus allowing the precise calibration of the device for applications of photon counting.
