Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory measures Extensive Air Showers (EAS) induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays using a hybrid detector (fluorescence and surface detector). The angular resolution of the EAS reconstruction with the surface array is an essential parameter for the search of anisotropies in the sky. For this purpose, the angular resolution is estimated using several independent methods: on an event-by-event basis, with the hybrid events and with the events detected with special closed-by detectors.
