24 Charge parameterization AGASA parameterization (S. Yoshida et al., J Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 20,651 (1994) Parameters depend on (θ, Ε, primary) “Mean particle density registered by an active counter”

25 Primary Impact determination Muons are distributed around the impact with rms Absolute Position resolution ~ 0.5 m

26 Telescope Resolution Telescope resolution ~ 0.1 deg Surface Area resolution ~ 1 deg Telescope’s resolution measurement Impossible Inter calibration

27 Conclusions The operation of 3 stations (16 counters) for 10 days will provide: The determination of a possible offset with an accuracy ~ 0.05 deg The determination of the absolute position with an accuracy ~ 0.6 m Efficiency vs Energy and Zenith angle… Resolution No!
