Improved calibration process for the WCDs of the LAGO project using semi-analytic model [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.05371


Direct measurements of VEM using scintillating plastic plates in water Cherenkov prototype detectors and a muon flux model were previously used to reproduce the charge histogram of a detector. In these measurements the VEM has a significantly lower value than would be obtained by locating the charge histogram maximum.
In this technical note we will use the inverse process, being known the charge histogram we will use a simple model to estimate the load distribution of the VEM. We will then use this VEM distribution and a one-hour secondary cosmic ray flux simulation to estimate the total muon component of the histogram.
