Water cherenkov detectors response to a Gamma Ray Burst in the large aperture GRB observatory
Résumé
In order to characterise the behaviour of
Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCD) under a sudden
increase of 1 GeV - 1 TeV background photons from
a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB), simulations were conducted
and compared to data acquired by the WCD
of the Large Aperture GRB Observatory (LAGO).
The LAGO operates arrays of WCD at high altitude
to detect GRBs using the single particle technique.
The LAGO sensitivity to GRBs is derived from the
reported simulations of the gamma initiated particle
showers in the atmosphere and the WCD response
to secondaries.
