Model analysis for the MAGIC telescope. — •Daniel Mazin1, Wolfgang Wittek1, Florian Goebel1, Ciro Bigongiari2, and Alvin Laille31Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München — 2INFN, Via Marzolo 8., Padova 35131, Italy — 3University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA

The MAGIC Collaboration operates the 17m imaging Cherenkov telescope on the Canary island La Palma. The main goal of the experiment is an energy threshold below 60 GeV for primary gamma rays. The new analysis technique (model analysis) takes advantage of the high resolution (both in space and time) camera by fitting the averaged expected templates of the shower development to the measured shower images in the camera. This approach allows one to recognize and reconstruct images just above the level of the night sky background light fluctuations.

Progress and preliminary results of the model analysis technique will be presented.
