Abstract content

After a 1-year-long running time, much information has been collected on the performance of the ARGO-YBJ detector. In particular, increased expertise on the detector behaviour in the peculiar environmental conditions of the experimental site (4300 meters a.s.l.) has been reached. Here we show and discuss the correlation between the detector operating parameters and the environmental factors, exploiting the statistical significance provided by a long-term monitoring of the whole full-coverage central array of 1560 Resistive Plate Chambers.
