摘要
Monte Carlo simulation of the detection of Cerenkov flashes using a multichannel image camera (MIC) of a VHE gamma telescope were carried out. It is shown that convential data processing techniques are not optimal. The flash dimension, location and orientation errors were estimated. The error budget of the influence of the limited field of view of the detector and the night sky emission is assessed. The optimal method of observational data processing of Cerenkov flashes obtained by MIC is proposed.
