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)

- For IRFs we used only the closest (in zenith) testing nodes to the LHAASO path

Nodes used for IRFs:

- node_theta_14.984_az_355.158_

- node_theta_32.059_az_355.158_

- node_theta_43.197_az_262.712_

- node_theta_52.374_az_301.217_

Standard DL1a MC:

- Testing (Ring-like MC, offset 0.4 deg):

- Testing (Diffuse MC, only four nodes close to the source path in the sky):

- gamma diffuse

For the diffuse-gamma test sample, were used DL1 tuned with slightly different values for the nsb parameters:

"image_modifier": {
  "increase_nsb": true,
  "extra_noise_in_dim_pixels": 0.979,
  "extra_bias_in_dim_pixels": 0.339,
  "transition_charge": 8,
  "extra_noise_in_bright_pixels": 1.133,
  "increase_psf": false,
  "smeared_light_fraction": 0.0
