Cherenkov
Liquid Scint
Muons deposit 240 MeV in 1.20m high water and only 26 MeV in 13 cm high liquid, while electrons deposit all of their energy i.e., around 10 MeV.
Therefore for 10 Mev electrons we expect:
Mu/EM=24 for Cherenkov
Mu/EM=2.6 for Liq. Scint.

Conclusions
We have checked the stability and performed the calibration of the detectors.
We have measured and analyzed the arrival direction of showers.
We determine the energy of the primary by measuring the total number of charged particles obtaining by integration of the fitted LDF.
Study of Muon/Electromagnetic ratio is underway:
