A New Software Package For Computing The Time-Dependent Aperture Of The Auger Surface Detector

摘要

We describe a new general-purpose software package being developed for the Pierre Auger Collaboration for rapidly computing the differential and time-integrated apertures of regular arrays of surface detectors.A precise determination of the integrated aperture of the Pierre Auger Surface Detector (SD) is necessary in order to accurately convert the measured counts of high energy cosmic ray events into flux measurements.
