Abstract
The water at the proposed site of the CHIPS water Cherenkov detector has been studied to measure its attenuation length for Cherenkov light as a function of filtering time. A scaled model of the CHIPS detector filled with water from the Wentworth 2W pit, proposed site of the CHIPS deployment, in conjunction with a 3.2Â m vertical column filled with this water, was used to study the transmission of 405Â nm laser light. Results consistent with attenuation lengths of up to 100Â m were observed for this wavelength with filtration and UV sterilization alone.
