Development of hybrid reconstruction techniques for TAIGA

2021 
The TAIGA-experiment aims to implement a hybrid detection technique of Extensive Air Showers(EAS) at TeV to PeV energies, combining the wide angle Cherenkov timing array HiSCORE withImaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The detector currently consists of 89 HiSCOREstations and two IACTs, distributed over an area of about 1 km². Our goal is to introduce a newreconstruction technique, combining the good angular and shower core resolution of HiSCOREwith the gamma-hadron separation power of the imaging telescopes. With the second IACT inoperation, three different event types can be explored: IACT stereo, full hybrid (IACT stereo +stations) and mono hybrid (IACT mono + HiSCORE), the latter being the operational goal ofTAIGA. The status of the development of the full hybrid reconstruction and its verification usingreal data and simulation are presented.
