Description

TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic rays and Gamma Astronomy) is hybrid air-shower observatory located in Eastern Siberia. The primary task of the facility is the detection of air-showers produced by high-energy gamma rays. Within this task, it is crucial to distinguish gamma-induced events from the hadronic background, since the hadronic background exceeds the gamma-ray flux by several orders of magnitude. The talk will review the methods used for gamma-hadron classification at the imaging cherenkov telescopes TAIGA-IACT in mono observation mode and present an overview of the data processing pipeline and the reconstruction of the energy spectra of observed sources.
