LST-1 Performance

Differential flux sensitivity (5 bins per decade in energy) of LST-1 for point-like sources for different observation times.
The sensitivity definition is the standard one for IACTs (see ref(1) for details), and has been computed using observations of the Crab Nebula, assuming the spectrum reported by MAGIC in ref(2).
The signal selection cuts have been optimized in each bin (on a statistically independent sample) to achieve the best possible sensitivity. The MAGIC reference value is from ref (3).

For other performance parameters please refer to ref. (1).
