Statistical Tools for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
read the original abstract
The development of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) unveiled the sky in the teraelectronvolt regime, initiating the so-called "TeV revolution", at the beginning of the new millennium. This revolution was also facilitated by the implementation and adaptation of statistical tools for analyzing the shower images collected by these telescopes and inferring the properties of the astrophysical sources that produce such events. Image reconstruction techniques, background discrimination, and signal-detection analyses are just a few of the pioneering studies applied in recent decades in the analysis of IACTs data. This (succinct) review has the intent of summarizing the most common statistical tools that are used for analyzing data collected with IACTs, focusing on their application in the full analysis chain, including references to existing literature for a deeper examination.

Revising Indirect Dark Matter Constraints with Updated Astrophysical $J$-Factor Priors
Analytical J-factor penalty factors let published dark-matter annihilation limits be rescaled for revised Gaussian or log-normal astrophysical priors without the full experimental likelihood.
