Abstract

In this research work entitled Inclusion of the University of Nariño in the LAGO (Latin American Giant Observatory) Collaboration,  through  the design, construction and  installation  of a  water  Cherenkov detector, the main advances carried out are here presented. We want  to highlight the inclusion of the University of Nariño in the LAGO  Collaboration through the signing of an Agreement of Understanding signed by all the staff involved. It was also possible to determine the flow of particles at ground level in San Juan de Pasto, as well as to strengthen academic  relations with the different LAGO Collaboration work  groups  in Colombia and Latin America.  During the project execution time, the designs  for the installation of a water Cherenkov detector were determined, the components for the installation of the tank were acquired and the electronics  that made the acquisition of data possible were implemented, respect to this last aspect, we used the new LAGO  electronics relating to the use of the RED-Pitaya electronic card. The experiment, once fully installed, will also serve as a learning laboratory in data analysis for students of physics and engineering.
