Cosmic rays form the main source of background against which TeV γ-rays have to be detected using the atmospheric ˇCerenkov technique. Atmospheric ˇCerenkov arrays which adopt wavefront sampling technique need to develop suitable species sensitive parameters from the measurements at the observation level while the complementary imaging technique employs, by now, well established imaging parameters. We have derived several parameters based on ˇCerenkov photon arrival times which allow us to discriminate between γ-rays and cosmic rays. These are the wavefront curvature, pulse shape parameters and timing jitter. A systematic study of these parameters is carried out using detailed simulations and the resulting quality factors are computed for various primary energies and observation levels.
