Description

Following discussion with Gernot, the DESY and IFAE response files contain effective areas including a 68% containment cut. To get the full effective area, the values from the ROOT file have to be devided by 0.68.

The calibration database should be updated to correctly reflect the effective areas.

History

#1 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 9 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

After discussion with Gernot it became clear that only the DESY IRFs can be corrected (by dividing the effective area by 0.68) while the IFAE IRF has an energy dependent cut.

#2 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 9 years ago

I corrected the effective area and created a new calibration database (cta-caldb-20150220.tar.gz). Below a comparison of the effective area (left) and sensitivity (right) before (old) and after (new) the correction.
