Resumen:
This document describes the proposal for a system capable to test hundreds of 64
multi-channel Hamamatsu photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) to be used in the detectors
for the AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) project of the Pierre
Auger Observatory. The PMTs test facility will be running in the Auger Laboratory
at CNEA, Buenos Aires, where the muon counters will be assembled. This proposed
system is designed based on the experience and learnings obtained with the Auger
PMTs testing facility at Malargu ̈e, Argentina. We first describe the PMTs chosen
for the AMIGA project and the requirements for test system as well as the proposed
tests to be performed to each PMT and some preliminary measurements. Then, the
hardware and software scheme are shown as well as some estimations about required
manpower and costs.
