Monte Carlo information
- MC production reprocessed with lstMCpipe (v0.9.9) starting at DL1a level for AllSky production. NSB tuning added at the DL1 level.
- Link to lstMCpipe production: https://github.com/cta-observatory/lstmcpipe/tree/master/production_configs/20221027_v0.9.9_crab_tuned
- Link to MC files used: /fefs/aswg/data/mc/*/AllSky/20221027_v0.9.9_crab_tuned
- Particle types: Diffuse, point-like gammas, diffuse protons
- dec band (deg): 22.67
DL1 data
Reprocessed using DL1a files produced by LSTOSA. The files were reprocessed solving the problem with the time stamp.
- original DL1a files (real)
- lstchain v0.9.6
- real data: tailcut8-4 (with cleaning based on pedestal RMS), dynamic cleaning
/fefs/aswg/data/real/DL1/*/v0.9/tailcut84/dl1_LST-1.Run0XXXX.XXXX.h5
- MC: tailcut8-4, dynamic cleaning, NSB tuning
- lstchain v0.9.9

DL3 data selection
DL3 files were produced using the interpolation mode to compute the IRFs with energy-dependent cuts (both for the gammaness and theta cut). The lstchain version (and pyirf version) used to produce the DL3 files do not normalise properly the energy dispersion matrix to 1. Then, to fix this bug, I used the script fix_edisp.py (see attached file in https://github.com/cta-observatory/pyirf/releases/tag/v0.10.0) afterwards.
- lstchain-0.9.14dev (commit: 90d0450, after IRF interpolation method merged to the main branch)

- Runs: 7255, 7256
- Crab runs (2022-03-05)
- Runs: 7277, 7278, 7279, 7280, 7281, 7282
- Crab runs (2022-11-20)
- Runs: 10914, 10915, 10916, 10917, 10918
- Crab runs (2022-11-23)

Cross-check by Kenta
The plots below show the cross-check by Kenta (source-dependent analysis, lstchain v0.10.4 with runs 9629 and 9630 included). No edisp normalisation correction was applied.
