cssens

Computes the CTA sensitivity for a number of energy bins.


Synopsis

Computes the CTA sensitivity for a number of energy bins using ctlike. Crab spectra are fitted in narrow energy bins to simulated data, and the flux level is determined that leads to a particular significance.

Standard parameters

  (chatter = 2) [integer]
    Verbosity of the executable:
chatter = 0: no information will be logged
chatter = 1: only errors will be logged
chatter = 2: errors and actions will be logged
chatter = 3: report about the task execution
