Signal Fluctuations in the Auger Surface Detector

arXiv:astro-ph/0309491

Abstract

We measured the Cerenkov signal fluctuations in the water tanks of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Two stations located near the center of the 32-tank Engineering Array separated by 11 m were used for the purpose. At this separation the stations sample nearly the same region of the air shower. Sources of the signal fluctuations are discussed.
