Pγhα: A new variable for γ/h discrimination in large gamma-ray ground arrays

In this letter, a new strategy to enhance the discrimination of high energy gamma rays from the huge charged cosmic rays background in large cosmic rays ground arrays is presented. This strategy is based on the introduction of a new simple variable, Pγhα, which combines the probability of tagging mu...
