Auger Detectors

• 46 preproduction surface detectors in field
• Total will be 1600 over 3000 km2 (2005)
• 2 Fluorescence detectors in field
• Total will be 24
• Measure cosmic rays gt 1020 ev
• 1/km2/century
• Have been taking data for more than 1 year

Current Computing at FNAL

• Just finished generation of 25,000 shower
  simulations
• CPUTIME (days) - 7,559.05
• File in Enstore - 50, 771 (897.93 GB)
• Data mirrored here in AFS from Malargue
• 8 MB/day raw data
• 70 MB/day monitoring data

Near Future Computing at FNAL

• Planning another shower generation on the fixed
  target farms
• Analysis of these showers will occur on the fixed
  target farms (10-15 users)
• By the end of the year expect 500 detectors
• 20 MB/day raw data (more restrictive trigger)
• 1.2 GB/day monitoring data
• This is a job for Enstore
