Adjusting Monte Carlo Simulations for the Cherenkov Telescope Array’s Large-Sized Telescope Prototype — •Lukas Nickel and Maximilian Nöthe for the CTA LST Project — Astroparticle Physics, WG Elsässer, TU Dortmund University, Germany

The lowest energy range of the Cherenkov Telescope Array, which is going to be the next-generation very-high energy (≥ 20  GeV) gamma-ray observatory, will be covered by the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs). The prototype of the LST was inaugurated in October 2018 on the Canary Island of La Palma and has since performed observations of bright gamma-ray sources as part of the commissioning process.

One area that needs special care for any analysis regards potential differences between Monte Carlo simulations and observed data. In this talk current approaches to adjust existing simulations for different observational conditions will be presented.
