Scientific paper
A full-sized water Cherenkov detector (WCD) prototype (cylinder 3.57 m diameter filled with purified water up to a height of 1.2 m) was used to obtain experimental results that validate the concept of remote calibration and monitoring of WCDs based on the use of the natural flux of cosmic ray muons. Two types of events can be used to monitor and to calibrate each of the WCDs: through-going muons (i.e., isolated muons) and decay electrons from muons stopped inside each detector. The different triggers that will be used to obtain these events and the on-line calibration and monitoring histograms are discussed along with the way these data can be used to diagnose component failures of any of the surface stations of the Auger Observatory.
