Resumen:
We compared the surface detector response between data and MC, using the risetime difference in twins, that allows avoiding the influence of shower-to-shower fluctuations, as well as asymmetry effects. For the simulation, we used two different approaches. In the first one, the same shower was thrown over a hundred times in an array including a ring with twins at three different distances to the core (600m, 800m and 1000m). In the second approach, 100 different showers for each zenith angle, energy and primary were thrown with the core randomly distributed in the Super Hexagon. Results show that for the zenith angles and signal ranges studied, the simulations reproduce the data.
