Description
Calculations of time offsets for a matrix of 217 photomultiplier tubes are made using measurements of the cosmic rays crossing a scintillator in the vertical direction. The time offset for each tube of the array is referred to one tube which is considered to be the reference tube. The results show that the time offset values vary inside a range of 25 ns around the value of the reference tube with an error increasing up to 0.55 ns
