Resumen:
To extend the energy threshold of the
Auger Observatory to lower energies and to measure
the number of muons in extensive air showers, the
AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) enhancement is being developed. The complete
muon detector system, including the scintillation
detectors, the analogue front-end, trigger and the
digital readout electronics, as well as the power
supplies and slow-control electronics, have been
designed. Prototypes of all components have been
produced and tested separately in system tests. The
performances of all components and the complete
system will be discussed.
