✦ Synopsis

We are trying to obtain a suitable material to compose the lining of a water Cerenkov tmlk for the surface de-recto1, part of a hybrid detector of the Auger Project. Resulgs of tests were compared with DuPont 1073Tyvek T M and obtained a reasonable performance for (PVC+BaSO4) material.

The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory comprises 1600 water Cherenkov detectors distributed over an area of 3000 km 2 . The Cherenkov light is detected by three 9-in. photo-multiplier tubes from which the signals of the anode and last dynode are digitized by 10 bit 40 MHz FADCs.
