    The Hadron Calorimeter of LHCb (HCAL) is one of the four sub-detectors of the experiment calorimetric system, which also includes: Scintillator Pad Detector (SPD), Pre-Shower Detector (PS), and electromagnetic (ECAL) calorimeter. The main purpose of HCAL is to provide data for Level-0 trigger for selection events with high transverse energy hadrons. It is important to have a precise and reliable calibration system which produces result immediately after the calibration run. LHCb HCAL is equipped with a calibration system based on 137Cs radioactive source embedded into the calorimeter structure. It allows to obtain absolute calibration with good precision and monitor technical condition of the detector.
