LAGO

The LAGO project aims at observing GRBs by the single particle technique using water Cherenkov detectors (WCD). It would consist of various sites of large efficiency to GRB detection, either for their size or their altitude.

Current Activities

A first group of 5 detectors is in operation at Sierra Negra site.

Data analysis is well on the way for the Southern site of the Pierre Auger Observatory.

Detector optimisation design and deployment is underway for Chacaltaya and Pico Espejo sites.

Prototype detectors are under test in Bariloche, La Paz and Mérida.
