The DISP analysis method for point-like or extended source searches/studies with the MAGIC Telescope

2005 
In the standard operation mode, an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) points to the source under study, implying the source direction to coincide with the camera center. However, analysis methods which assume that the position of the source in the camera is known can not be used for many observations: extended sources, as Galactic Supernova Remnants or dark matter searches; sources whose position is a priori badly known, as is the case of unidentied EGRET sources or GRBs; or new sources in the camera eld of view (FOV), for example when doing a sky scan [7] or serendipitously found in the FOV of another source. An analysis method (Disp) which reconstructs the individual -ray arrival direction has been developed to treat all these cases. This contribution reviews the implementation of the method and its performance for the analysis of data recorded with the MAGIC Telescope [6].
