abstract = {Cherenkov light induced by radioactive decay
products is one of the major sources of background light
for deep-sea neutrino telescopes such as ANTARES. These
decays are at the same time a powerful calibration source.
Using data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope
from mid 2008 to 2017, the time evolution of the photon
detection efficiency of optical modules is studied. A modest
loss of only 20% in 9 years is observed. The relative time
calibration between adjacent modules is derived as well.},
