Eventdisplay: an Analysis and Reconstruction Package for VERITAS

Description

Eventdisplay is a reconstruction and analysis pipeline for data of the VERITAS Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT).

v491-rc2 is the second release candidate for v491. It is possible to use this for tests and careful science analysis

v491-rc2 includes a bug fix in TMVAEvaluator.

Version v491 is a major release with significant changes in the reconstruction algorithm and important bug fixes.

Improvements

  • significant improved high-energy reconstruction by
    • allow to fill lookup tables with loss factors larger than those used in the evndisp stage.
    • allow to re-analyse events with loss factors larger than those used in the evndisp stage.
    • improved dispBDT reconstruction with much better hyper parameter (derived from optimization on CTAO simulations)
    • added dispBDT energy reconstruction to allow to reconstruct events with large loss factors
    • improved BDT gamma/hadron separation; addition of DispAbsSumWeigth variable for gamma/hadron separation
  • telescope-dependent pedestal variations are now taken correctly into account in lookup table code
    • before: tables where accessed using the average pedvars
    • this change requires many and deep changes in both lookup table writing and reading codes.
