Eventdisplay - beta release v491-beta.2

Eventdisplay is a reconstruction and analysis pipeline for data of the VERITAS Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT).

v491-beta2 is a pre-release intended for testing. Do not use it for science analysis.

This is a major release with significant changes in the reconstruction algorithm and important bug fixes.

Improvements

• significant improved high-energy reconstruction by
  • allow to fill lookup tables with loss factors larger than those used in the evndisp stage.
  • allow to re-analyse events with loss factors larger than those used in the evndisp stage.
  • improved dispBDT reconstruction with much better hyper parameter (derived from optimization on CTAO simulations)
  • added dispBDT energy reconstruction to allow to reconstruct events with large loss factors
  • improved BDT gamma/hadron separation; addition of DispAbsSumWeigth variable for gamma/hadron separation
• telescope-dependent pedestal variations are now taken correctly into account in lookup table code
  • before: tables where accessed using the average pedvars
  • this change requires many and deep changes in both lookup table writing and reading codes.

What's Changed

• v491-dev4 by @GernotMaier in #276

Eventdisplay - beta release v491-beta.1

Eventdisplay is a reconstruction and analysis pipeline for data of the VERITAS Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT).

v491-beta1 is a pre-release intended for testing. Do not use it for science analysis.

This is a major release with significant changes in the reconstruction algorithm and important bug fixes.

Improvements:

• significant improved high-energy reconstruction by
  • allow to fill lookup tables with loss factors larger than those used in the evndisp stage.
  • allow to re-analyse events with loss factors larger than those used in the evndisp stage.
  • improved dispBDT reconstruction with much better hyper parameter (derived from optimization on CTAO simulations)
  • added dispBDT energy reconstruction to allow to reconstruct events with large loss factors
  • improved BDT gamma/hadron separation; addition of DispAbsSumWeigth variable for gamma/hadron separation

Bug fixes:

• replaced 'closes-bin' algorithm for BDT gamma/hadron tree selection by interpolation in zenith. This fixes the issue reported in ELOG 2597, with clearly visible effects from the binning of the BDTs in zenith angle.
