BENATTI, A. Analysis of the temporal evolution of the signal in surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory. 2018. 56p. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) Instituto de Física de São Carlos, Universidade de São Paulo, São Carlos, 2018. The surface detectors of Pierre Auger observatory are water filled tanks and completely dark with photomultiplier sensors installed indoors. When charged particles of air showers cross the water with velocities above that of light in this medium, ultraviolet radiation is generated due to the Cherenkov effect. The photomultiplier sensors of these detectors measure and convert this radiation into electrical signals that are sent to the data center, thus recording an event. Some events have unusual behavior, characterized by having more than one structure in its time series, coincident in at least two distant surface detectors. This work was dedicated to investigate the characteristics and origins of these events. Due to the large amount of data recorded by the Pierre Auger Observatory it was necessary to develop a computational tool to automatically recognize and select those events that present the desired structure type. After applying this filter, we tried to determine a pattern by looking for similarities or trends in air-shower variables, such as energy and direction of arrival. In a second analysis, we looked at the hybrid events, air showers observed by the surface detectors and the fluorescence telescopes simultaneously, in order to analyze the longitudinal development of air shower. In the sequence, we performed some simulations of air showers for some events selected with the developed algorithm. These events were then reconstituted, simulating a detection by the observatory for the purpose of determinin if the origin of this anomalous signal is related to a response of the detectors. The last step was to analyze the ratio between the proportion of selected events and the total number of events observed as a function of the energy of the primary particle, which revealed a relation between these two quantities.
