• Energy Spectrum of UHECR (E > 1018 eV)-> Shape of the spectrum in the region of the GZK feature
• Arrival Direction Distribution -> Search for departure from isotropy - point sources
• Mass Composition: nuclei, photons, neutrinos, etc.

The calibration is done in 3 main steps:
- The high voltage of each PMT is adjust to have approximately the same Qpeak
VEM in each PMT.
- Each PMT has a single rate spectrum. Then we adjust the trigger thershold to have a single a rate of 100Hz at Ipeak
VEM = 150 ch.
- This choice sets up each of the PMT to have approximately 50ch / Ipeak
VEM.
- Continually perform a local calibration to determine the Ipeak
VEM in
channels to adjust the electronic-level trigger.
- Determine the value of Qpeak
VEM to high accuracy using charge
histograms.

Inclined Showers( >600):
The analysis of inclined events is very important because:
- Increase the statistics, ∈ (600,800), 30% more events.
- Enlarge sky map: allows the study of clustering and anisotropy in an extended region of the sky.
- EM component is absorbed in the atmosphere. Inclined showers are sensitive to the muonic component.
- We can study composition, because the total number of muons depends on the energy and primary particle type.
- Neutrino events may interact deep in the atmosphere.

Inclined Showers( >600): - Inclined showers are all about muons!
- Understand the tank response to inclined muons is crucial.
- Up to now there is not specific measurements for inclined and individuals muons with high statistics.
- We only have simulations! Which have some unknown parameters.

TODO LIST:
- Charge histograms as a function of the zenit angle- Direct light (PMT balance)- Signal versus Track length - Measured the muon flux- Muon decay- Start Time variance- Check the simulations
