Description
The proposed 5-ton liquid xenon TPC of the nEXO experiment will search for the elusive neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{136}$Xe. This poster will describe the status of some charge and light calibration strategies of double beta decay charge clusters. One strategy is use the photo-electricity of gold to produce electron clusters, and measure their properties as they drift through a volume of liquid xenon. A flasher setup is also being investigated to improve knowledge of light propagation and to monitor photon sensor performance. Details of coupling optical beam into the cryo-module will be presented.
