Scientific paper

The ANTARES detector is the largest deep sea underwater neutrino telescope in operation. The apparatus comprises a matrix of 885 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) which detect the Cherenkov light emitted by the charged leptons produced in the charged current interactions of high energy neutrinos with the matter inside or near the detector. Reconstruction of the muon track and energy can be achieved using the time, position and charge information of the hits arriving to the PMTs. A good calibration of the detector is necessary in order to ensure its optimal performance. This contribution reviews the different calibration systems and methods developed by the ANTARES Collaboration.
