Abstract
We present the methods used to calibrate the Surface Scintillator Detector of the Pierre Auger
Observatory. We describe how to obtain an accurate calibration of the scintillator by examining
peak and charge distributions of atmospheric muons. This is done whenever an extensive air
shower event measured by the Surface Detector is reconstructed. We also describe the work
towards an algorithm that uses a rate-based approach to calibrate the Surface Scintillator Detectors
independently.
