| dc.description | In order to better utilize the information contained in the shower images generated by imaging Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) equipped with cameras with small pixels, images are fit to a parametrization of image shapes gained from Monte Carlo simulations, treating the shower direction, impact point, and energy as free parameters. Monte Carlo studies for a system of IACTs predict an improvement of order 1.5 in the angular resolution. The fitting technique can also be applied to single-telescope images; simulations indicate that the shower direction in space can be reconstructed event-by-event with a resolution of 0.16 deg. to 0.20 deg., allowing to generate genuine source maps. Data from Crab observations with a single HEGRA telescope confirm this prediction. | |
