Resumen:
Abstract: The muon detector of the AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) extension of the Pierre Auger Observatory is currently finishing the construction of its engineering array phase. The engineering array consists of seven detectors in a 750 m regular hexagon with buried scintillator counters in each of its vertices and center. The muon counters are buried alongside each Auger surface detector station in the infill area. Two additional twin detectors are being built to study the muon counting accuracy and the design validation. An overview of the construction and deployment of the muon scintillation detector array is presented with an emphasis on the current data analyses.
