چکیده انگلیسی
We describe the use of a water Cherenkov detector to study in detail the signals associated to secondary cosmic rays. In particular we describe a direct way to identify some of the components of secondary cosmic rays. It consists of a polyethylene tank of 1.54Â m of diameter filled with water up to a height of 1.2 with one 8â³ phototube looking downwards in the center of the tank at the level of the water. By collecting data using three different types of triggers, namely, vertical non-central muons, vertical central muons and arbitrary muons, we show the existence of very strong correlations among the voltage amplitudes, charge depositions, and rise times from 10% to 90% for isolated electrons, isolated muons and extended air showers using a single detector. The simple technique described also allows a clear identification of the muon interaction with the PMT glass envelope. We discuss a way in which our results can be used, in conjunction with a classification scheme such as neural networks, to form artificial signals for extensive air showers with the purpose to estimate the muon/EM ratio of air showers measured with large ground arrays of water Cherenkov detectors such as in the case of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
