Image Analysis Methods for Gamma-Hadron Separation — •Ramin Marx and Dan Parsons — MPIK Heidelberg

Gamma-hadron separation is essential in VHE gamma-ray astronomy. In order to separate gamma-ray- from proton-induced air shower images obtained with the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, image analysis methods are applied to these camera images. Different classifiers are evaluated in a multivariate analysis framework to test the combined separation power and to check for correlations. The results are presented here.
