Resumen:
AMIGA detectors are highly segmented devices and, as such, posses the capability of measuringthe arrival times of individual muons at a depth of 2.3 m. Nevertheless, the lack of information of theexact position of a crossing particle along the scintillator strips (of 2m or 4m length depending onthe module area) results in an unavoidable uncertainty in the reconstruction of its arrival time. In thiswork, we analyse the delay in the signal for triggering-particle positions spanning from the closest to the farthest ends of the scintillators using well controlled laboratory measurements. The resolution of the reconstructed times observed is 12 ns
