Scientific paper

In this work we present the participations of the Mexican group at development of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We have been working in both parts of the hybrid proposed for the Auger detector, the fluorescence and the surface detectors. In the part of fluorescence, we have analyzed the resolution of the Hi-Res optical design of the fluorescence detector observatory. We have found a heterogeneus image resolution. We propose to use a lensless Schmidt camera (with spherical image surface) to duplicate the field of view to 30×30 degrees and simultaneously guarantee a resolution of one degree over of the whole field of view. By the Surface Detector, a water Čerenkov detector (WCD) prototype of reduced dimensions (cylinder 1.54 diameter filled with purified water up to 1.20 m high) is used to obtain preliminary experimental results that validate the concept of remote calibration and monitoring of WCDs. We use muons that stop and decay inside the WCD and, in a complementary way, muons that croos the WCD. We used a moun telescope trigger in order to study the charge distribution of vertical muons, their pulse amplitude decay and the Cerenkov light attenuation length of those secondary cosmic muons we include the bacteria population content for the four months of operation to validate the monitoring method.
