Monte Carlo studies for the MAGIC-II telescope system

Description

Within the year 2008, MAGIC will be upgraded to a two telescope system at La Palma. Its main goal is to improve the sensitivity in the stereoscopic operational mode. At the same time it will lower the analysis threshold of the currently running single MAGIC telescope. Performance studies of this system from the Monte Carlo simulations show an improvement in sensitivity by a factor 2-3 over a single telescope with marked improvements in both angular and energy resolution. Preliminary results from this study are discussed
