Detection of Point Sources in Cosmic Ray Maps using the Mexican Hat Wavelet Family    [PDF]

Rafael Alves Batista, Ernesto Kemp, Bruno Daniel

An analysis of the sensitivity of gaussian and mexican hat wavelet family filters to the detection of point sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays was performed. A source embedded in a background was simulated and the number of events and amplitude of this source was varied aiming to check the sensitivity of the method to detect faint sources with low statistic of events.
