Eventdisplay: Analysis and reconstruction package for ground-based Gamma-ray astronomy
Abstract
Eventdisplay reconstructs and analyzes data from the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). It has been primarily developed for VERITAS and CTA analysis. The package calibrates and parametrizes images, event reconstruction, and stereo analysis, and provides train boosted decision trees for direction and energy reconstruction. It fills and uses lookup tables for mean scaled width and length calculation, energy reconstruction, and stereo reconstruction, and calculates radial camera acceptance from data files and instrument response functions such as effective areas, angular point-spread function, and energy resolution. Eventdisplay offers additional tools as well, including tools for calculating sky maps and spectral energy distribution, and to plot instrument response function, spectral energy distributions, light curves, and sky maps, among others.
