Detection and analysis of astroparticles using WCD at 2800 m a.s.l. in Quito

Abstract:

At the Escuela Politécnica Nacional we have assembled a WCD (Water Cherenkov Detector) prototype for the LAGO (Latin American Giant Observatory) project in Ecuador. This article presents the data as well as the analysis corresponding to October, 2015. We present the obtained Charge Distribution Histogram (CDH). We shaped the conditions in which the equipment is operating given the environmental parameters and the value for the first VEM (Vertical Equivalent Muon) for the "Politanque".
