Scientific paper

H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) is an array of four large imaging Cherenkov telescopes devoted to gamma-ray astronomy above 100 GeV. It has been fully operational since December 2003. Here, we report on a new analysis method based on a simple 3D-modeling of an electromagnetic air shower. This method allows to separate gamma-rays from background events in the field of view without any assumption on the morphology of the source or on the background distribution. This is a crucial point in the study of extended sources (e.g. Supernova Remnants) or in the search for unexpected sources in a sky survey. The performance and results of this method on galactic sources are presented.
