Abstract:The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) is an international experiment covering 10 Latin American countries and Spain. LAGO researches gamma-ray bursts and space weather phenomena using water Cherenkov detectors (WCDs) deployed at different altitudes. Large-area (8-inches) photomultipliers sense Cherenkov radiation produced by secondary particles crossing the WCDs. We present a generic photomultiplier model applied to the Hamamatsu R5912 tube, used in most of LAGO' WCDs. The model depends on the number of … Show more
