A template-based air shower reconstruction method for SWGO — •Franziska Leitl, Vikas Joshi, and Stefan Funk for the SWGO collaboration — Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics, Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Str. 2, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany

The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is a future ground-based gamma-ray detector that will be built in South America, extending current generation instruments to the Southern Hemisphere. Primarily, water Cherenkov detectors will be utilized to detect particles in an energy range from 100s of GeV to 100s of TeV. The instrument will possess a close to 100% duty cycle and an order steradian field-of-view. The detection area will consist mainly of a densely packed inner array of water Cherenkov detectors for detecting low energy events, while a large, sparse outer array of detectors is used mainly for higher energy showers. In this contribution, the current status of air shower reconstruction for SWGO with a template-based reconstruction method will be presented.
