Improved calibration methods and reconstruction of the underground muon detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Original language description
As part of the upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, known as AugerPrime, the Underground Muon Detector is being deployed in the low-energy extension of the Surface Detector. It comprises an array of 30 m2 plastic scintillator muon counters, buried 2.3 meters underground near the water- Cherenkov detectors, allowing for direct measurement of the muonic component of air showers in the energy range of 1016.5 − 1019 eV. To achieve an extended dynamic range, the detector operates in two modes: the binary mode, which is optimized for low muon densities, and the ADC mode, designed for high muon densities. In this contribution, we present the latest improvements to the calibration procedure of the ADC mode and to the data reconstruction of the binary mode. We assess their performance with simulations.
