For all the timing spectra it was calculated K1(left)-K2(right).

Co-60 was used as a source. 2" thick Pb brick with a hole of a diameter ~5mm was used as a collimator.

Source is 15.85 cm away from the left PMT

Final calibration curve

The whole width of a single error bar represents the value of one sigma in time difference spectrum for BKG subtracted data.

Hence, the slope is 0.1450 ns/cm or 6.89 cm/ns.

While using ROOT to fit the data, two ways of linear fit were used: Minuit fit and Singular Value Decomposition fit. The whole width of a single error bar in this case represents the value of the error on the mean in fitted time difference spectrum for BKG subtracted data.

The slope is 0.1459 ns/cm or 6.85 cm/ns.
