In this document we describe a model of an array water Cherenkov detectors proposed to study ultra-high-energy gamma rays in the southern hemisphere, and continuous secondary particles produced on ground from proton showers. We use detector parametrization showers for identification most promising configuration elements, using likelihood ratio test statistic classify stochastic gradient descent technique maximize utility function describing measurement precision gamma-ray flux.
