论文摘要
我们介绍了在拉丁美洲巨型天文台(Lago)的大多数地点使用的建模和模拟Hamamatsu R5912光电倍增管的结果。将该模型与安装在Bucaramanga-Colombia和Bariloche-Argentina的运输水分Cherenkov探测器(WCD)的数据进行了比较。 Lago项目是一项国际实验,在拉丁美洲跨越不同的海拔地区,加入了11个国家 /地区的35个机构。它主要针对有关伽马射线爆发和太空天气现象的基础研究。 Lago网络由主要由光电层管组成的单个或小阵列WCD组成,以及获得单粒子或广泛的空气淋浴事件,由宇宙射线与地球大气的相互作用触发。
We present the results of modeling and simulating the Hamamatsu R5912 photomultiplier tube that is used in most of the sites of the Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO). The model was compared with data of in-operation water Cherenkov detectors (WCD) installed at Bucaramanga-Colombia and Bariloche-Argentina. The LAGO project is an international experiment that spans across Latin America at different altitudes joining more than 35 institutions of 11 countries. It is mainly oriented to basic research on gamma-ray bursts and space weather phenomena. The LAGO network consists of single or small arrays of WCDs composed mainly by a photomultiplier tube and a readout electronics that acquires single-particle or extensive air shower events triggered by the interaction of cosmic rays with the Earth atmosphere.
