PipelineΒΆ

The following steps describe the basics of protopipe analysis and estimate of the performance of CTA.

Each of the analysis steps comes with its configuration file stored under aux/example_config_files/protopipe.

  1. Energy estimator

  1. Gamma hadron classifier

  • produce tables of gamma-rays and hadrons with image information with pipeline utilities (Data training)

  • build a model with protopipe.mva utilities (Building the models)

  1. DL2 production

  • produce tables of gamma-rays, hadrons and electrons with event informations with pipeline utilities (Production of DL2 data)

  1. Estimate performance of the instrument (Optimized cuts and IRFs)

  • find the best cutoff in gammaness/score, to discriminate between signal and background, as well as the angular cut to obtain the best sensitivity for a given amount of observation time and a given template for the source of interest

  • compute the instrument response functions, effective area, point spread function and energy resolution

  • estimate the sensitivity

Warning

protopipe is currently optimized for point-source best-sensitivity
