The fibber delay tempco is at the order of 50ps/Km/C. The fibbers in
|
|
|
Gran Sasso are buried deep underground where temperature changes below
|
|
|
1C are expected. This represents a maximun change inferiour to 1ns
|
|
|
thourghout the year in the OPERA fibber. At CERN we have ~2Km of fibber
|
|
|
between the CERN's Control Room (CCR) and HCA442. This fibber is not
|
|
|
buried as deeply as the one used in LNGS. If we take that the fibber is
|
|
|
buried at 1m ,the temperature change could be of ~15C. This implies a
|
|
|
possible change on the fibber delay of 1.5ns.
