Scientific paper

The ANTARES collaboration aims to deploy a 0.1km2 neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea by 2004. Neutrinos will be detected through the muons produced in their interaction with the surrounding matter. The muon trajectory can in turn be reconstructed from the arrival time at the detector photomultipliers of the Cherenkov photons produced by the muons. In order to provide the best possible angular resolution for astronomy a number of calibration techniques will be employed. These include acoustic systems, LED pulsers within the photomultiplier optical modules, brighter omnidirectional LED beacons and a laser beacon. These systems, developed within the ANTARES collaboration, are reviewed and their capabilities described.
