Scientific paper

The ground array of the Pierre Auger Observatory will consist of 1600 water Cerenkov detectors. They will be deployed over 3000 km2 at Pampa Amarilla, near Malargue, in the state of Mendoza, Argentina. A prototype of 32 detectors, ¨ the engineering array (EA), has been continuously taking data since 2001. The remoteness and difficulty to access each detector imposed an automatic remote calibration procedure. The main parameter to determine is the average charge deposited by central muons crossing the water volume vertically.
