Study of the IACT angular acceptance and Point Spread Function
چکیده انگلیسی
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) are designed to detect γ-ray photons in the very-high energy (VHE) band from 50 GeV to more than 10 TeV. The few degree-scale field of view and the good angular resolution  < 0.1 deg, favor morphological studies on extended sources and on diffuse emission. The description of the PSF (Point Spread Function) of IACT is a prerequisite to assess, for example, the possibility to reveal diffuse emission around point like sources. We study the PSF on γ-ray photons of IACTs using Crab Nebula data collected with the MAGIC stereoscopic system. Through a careful description of the background and response of the instrument we can build the γ-ray PSF corrected for the angular acceptance. We find a good analytical model describing the γ-ray PSF for IACTs and assess its stability.
