3.1 Performance of individual stations

"The following information should be provided. As applicable to the item, quantitative values should be based on the analysis of individual stations using the reconstructed datasets at fixed energies (F) : 1019 eV and 1019.8 eV and for p, He, N and Fe primaries. The target for these metrics is the March meeting, with items (iii) and (v) having highest priority."

• i. Strategy for calibrating the new detectors. Expected precision of the relative and absolute calibration to be achieved should be provided. Means for validating the calibration should be discussed.

• ii. The time resolution of the signal trace(s) and response time of the detector.

  iii. The resolution and the bias in reconstructing the muonic signal (or electromagnetic signal, as applicable to the upgrade) in individual detector stations. The bias is defined as Delta(Smu)=(Smu,rec - Smu,MC)/Smu,MC and the resolution is given by its variance sigma(Delta(Smu)). These quantities should be shown as a function of the distance, r, of the tank to the shower core for each of the different zenith angles of the simulation sets (F).
