MC information

- AllSkyMC production

- standard DL1 produced in lstmcpipe v0.7.4 (Training DiffuseGammas and Protons, Testing Ring-like gammas), and v0.8.2 (Testing DiffuseGammas)

- RFs training data reconstruction up to DL2 done manually in lstchain v0.9.6 (lstmcpipe wasn't ready for the full AllSky MC at the time of analysis), IRFs created in dev lstchain (close to v0.9.7)

• lstchain v0.9 tailcut8-4 (with cleaning based on pedestal RMS, dynamical cleaning)

/fefs/aswg/data/real/DL1/{date}/v0.9/tailcut84/

DL2 data

• data in full range of zenith angles (0, 55) reconstructed with AllSky RFs

/fefs/aswg/workspace/jakub.jurysek/data_analysis/lhaaso_J2108/DL2/allsky_mc/

DL3 data

• Fixed cuts:

"intensity": [50, Infinity],
"width": [0, Infinity],
"length": [0, Infinity],
"r": [0, 1],
"wl": [0.1, 1],
"leakage_intensity_width_2": [0, 1.0],
"event_type": [32, 32]

Cut optimization for detection (energy dependent)

- lstchain_create_irf_files tool in lstchain doesn't support energy dependent cuts optimized on sensitivity (only gamma efficiency)

- Energy dependent gammaness cut optimized on Crab detection significance in each energy bin, point-like source assumption

- For energy bins (0.1-1.0 TeV): Crab data from 2021, zenith between 20-40 deg (2/3 of LHAASO data in this range), good runs selected by Abelardo [2]

- For energy bins (1.0-100.0 TeV): All 121 good runs selected by Abelardo [3]

- DL1->DL2 (Crab) with AllSky RFs tuned on the Crab field

models: /fefs/aswg/workspace/jakub.jurysek/simulations/models/AllSky/20220511_allsky_tune_crab/dec_2276/
DL2 data: /fefs/aswg/workspace/jakub.jurysek/data_analysis/crab/DL2/allsky_mc/

Cut optimization for 1D spectral analysis in gammapy (global cuts)

- Crab data from 2021, zenith < 35 deg, good runs selected by Abelardo [4]

- Global gammaness and theta2 cuts optimized on Crab detection significance, point-like source assumption

- As gamma efficiency optimized cuts on diffuse gammas are not optimal for point source analysis, we also need global gammaness and theta2 cuts for DL3 analysis (see also IRF description).

- DL1->DL2 (Crab) with AllSky RFs tuned on the Crab field (see above)

global_gh_cut: 0.84
global_theta_cut: 0.2 (0.04 deg^2)

IRFs

• Full enclosure
• Four different IRFs merged with DL2 data depending on the run zenith angle
• Global cuts optimised on Crab data used
• Energy dependent cuts not yet possible. For these we would need point-like IRFs produced from ring-like MC. The problem is that the LHAASO source was observed with variable offsets from 0.45 - 0.55 deg, while point-like IRFs in v0.9.6 have a hard-coded offset axis [0.3, 0.5] deg, which means that IRF cannot be used for many runs in data in gammapy analysis.
• Produced in lstchain dev (close to v0.9.7)

• IRF path: /fefs/aswg/workspace/jakub.jurysek/data_analysis/IRFs/v0.9.7/AllSky/
