Also from USAC, the Engeneer Iván Morales, expert in DAQ systems for instrumentation joined us during the week. We also had the visit of Alejandro Saravia, Master student of the Faculty of Space Sciences, of the National Autonomous University of Honduras, who participated of the entire workshop with the idea of replicating the detector at his institution.
Héctor,
with Iván and Andrés (bachelor student who is also a lab assistant) will continue working with the donated device in reaserch activities, to integrate the Escaramujo detector with a water Cerenkov tank developed by them, as part of the LAGO collaboration.
