Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory has recently undergone a major upgrade, called AugerPrime, tailored to answer the current most burning questions in the Ultra-High-Energy cosmic ray detection. The AugerPrime upgrade consists of adding, on top of each station, a scintillator detector to separate the muonic and electromagnetic component of the shower for better primary identification, and a radio antenna to measure the emission of air showers in 30-80 MHz range. An additional small diameter photomultiplier in installed in each station to increase the dynamic range for signal detection. New electronic modules, that have been installed on all stations, provide a sufficient number of channels for readout of the additional detectors, as well as faster sampling, increased dynamic range and processing capability. Underground muon detector and radio detector signals are also aggregated by the new electronics. In this contribution we summarize the performance of the new electronics modules with respect to the requirements, describe the verification procedure and give the results in the laboratory tests compared to the performance in the field.
