Characterization of muon simulations for the scintillator detector BATATA located at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Original language description
Ultra-High energy Cosmic rays (UHECR) reach us from our Galaxy and from extragalactic space. Their origin is still unknown and their study is one of the main aims of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The underground detector Buried Array Telescope at Auger (BATATA) was designed as part of the low energy enhancement of the Observatory. This telescope is a 3 m side cube with the main goal of analyzing the muon component from air showers produced by primary Cosmic Rays (CR) and quantifying the electromagnetic contamination of the muon signal as a function of depth in the 10 and 10 eV energy range. The objective of this work is to characterize the functionality of simulations developed exclusively for BATATA in order to understand the behavior of the muon component in the detector. This is done by comparing the simulations with analytical calculations. In this work, results on comparisons of the muon component are presented.n
