“…Both the data and the simulations were processed using the prototype processing pipeline for CTA, ctapipe (version v0.8.0) [5], where the charge was extracted using an integration window of width of 16 ns starting 6 ns before the peak of the signal. This was chosen to encompass the full pulse width recorded in the waveform.…”

“…Although interleaved pedestals were available for some of the data sets, for simplicity they were instead estimated from the average over the events for each run, using the first 10 samples in each waveform. The data were processed with ctapipe [5], where the charge was extracted and the images were cleaned using a two-level threshold, where only core pixels with at least 10 p.e. and any boundary pixels with at least 6 p.e.…”

The upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) ground-based gamma-ray observatory will open up our view of the very high energy Universe, offering an improvement in sensitivity of 5-10 times that of previous experiments. NectarCAM is one of the proposed cameras for the Medium-Sized Telescopes (MST) which have been designed to cover the core energy range of CTA, from 100 GeV to 10 TeV. The final camera will be capable of GHz sampling and provide a field of view of 8 degrees with its 265 modules of 7 photomultiplier each (for a total of 1855 pixels). In order to validate the performance of NectarCAM, a partially-equipped prototype has been constructed consisting of only the inner 61-modules. It has so far undergone testing at the integration test-bench facility in CEA Paris-Saclay (France) and on a prototype of the MST structure in Adlershof (Germany). To characterize the performance of the prototype, Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using a detailed model of the 61 module camera in the CORSIKA/sim_telarray framework. This contribution provides an overview of this work including the comparison of trigger and readout performance on test-bench data and trigger and image parameterization performance during on-sky measurements.
