Abstract:
Due to the geomagnetic shielding, particle detectors located at high latitudes allow the observation of cosmic rays (CRs) with lower energies than those located at middle or low latitudes. Thus, Antarctica is a privileged place to study CRs having the lowest energies that can be observed from ground level. The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) consists on a network of water- Cherenkov detectors (WCDs) located in nine countries of Latin America, to study with extreme detail the flux of CRs from ground level. The main scientific objectives are oriented to address several problems of astrophysics, space physics and atmospheric physics. In particular, LAGO has started to develop a Space Weather program. A project to install WCDs in the Argentinean Marambio station, located at the Antarctic Peninsula, is being developed as the first antarctic node of LAGO. In this work, we present several aspects of the project, including information about the site, the detector, and studies of geomagnetic and atmospheric properties, that permit us to characterize several useful properties of this location. Results from this new LAGO site will provide important insight for SpaceWeather, and will provide knowledge to better understand the Sun-Earth coupling.
