Calibrating the Surface Scintillator Detector of AugerPrime

We present the methods used to calibrate the Surface Scintillator Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We describe how to obtain an accurate calibration of the scintillator by examining peak and charge distributions of atmospheric muons. This is done whenever an extensive air shower event measured by the Surface Detector is reconstructed. We also describe the work towards an algorithm that uses a rate-based approach to calibrate the Surface Scintillator Detectors independently.

Abstract

We present the methods used to calibrate the Surface Scintillator Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We describe how to obtain an accurate calibration of the scintillator by examining peak and charge distributions of atmospheric muons. This is done whenever an extensive air shower event measured by the Surface Detector is reconstructed. We also describe the work towards an algorithm that uses a rate-based approach to calibrate the Surface Scintillator Detectors independently.
