Abstract

Two new analysis methods for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have been developed in the framework of the H.E.S.S. experiment. Both methods make use of the full stereoscopic information, beyond the Hillas parameters of each image. The first method is a simple 3D-modeling of an electromagnetic shower; the second is based on an analytical model of the light profile in the images. Both methods have confirmed the standard H.E.S.S. analysis for the currently observed sources. They further provide some improvement in angular resolution and are well-suited to background subtraction for extended sources.
