Muons as a tool for background rejection in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays

Abstract The presence of muons in air-showers initiated by cosmic ray protons and nuclei is well established as a powerful tool to separate such showers from those initiated by gamma rays. However, so far this approach has been fully exploited only for ground level particle detecting arrays. We expl...
