Resumen:

LAGO project is an international collaboration of water Cherenkov detectors at high altitude sites. In México, the LAGO experiment is located in Sierra Negra, at 4600 m altitude. In this paper we present the results of the simulated detector response under differents initial conditions for a new design, dividing the tank in four equal sections to improve the efficiency. The simulations were carried out using GEANT4. © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Fisica. All Rights Reserved.
