Number of muons: average, fluctuations and their systematics at 60◦

The distribution of the number of muons was reconstructed for showers around 60. The different known effects that bias the mean value and the RMS were calculated in detail, along with their systematic uncertainties. A comparison to the values predicted by the hadronic models was performed as a function of the energy.
