In all particle physics experiments, and especially when trying to detect rare-events, it is of critical importance that the experimental setup is properly calibrated, i.e. a unique correspondance is found between the signals at play and the physical quantities the experiment aims to measure. In order to do so, BULLKID-DM is investigating three different strategies which rely on the deposit of energy in its active volume through two different methods:
1. LANTERN is a BULLKID-DM subsystem that allows for fast bursts of optical photons to illuminate the silicon substrate.
2. BULLCAm is a BULLKID-DM subsystem that intends to use the X-rays emitted by a 241Am source to deposit energy in the active volume of the experiment.
3. Using X-rays and Gamma-rays produced by Lanthanum when struck by the X-Rays produced by 60Co and 241Am sources.
