Descripción:
This document describes the proposal for a system capable to test hundreds of 64multi-channel Hamamatsu photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) to be used in the detectorsfor the AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) project of the PierreAuger Observatory. The PMTs test facility will be running in the Auger Laboratoryat CNEA, Buenos Aires, where the muon counters will be assembled. This proposedsystem is designed based on the experience and learnings obtained with the AugerPMTs testing facility at Malargüe, Argentina. We first describe the PMTs chosenfor the AMIGA project and the requirements for test system as well as the proposedtests to be performed to each PMT and some preliminary measurements. Then, thehardware and software scheme are shown as well as some estimations about requiredmanpower and costs.
