Scientific paper

MAGIC is the worldwide largest air Cherenkov telescope, designed to detect gamma rays above an energy threshold of 10-30 GeV [2, 3]. In the energy region below 100 GeV because of the large mirror area and high photon sensitivity, one expects intense backgrounds from local muons and electrons along with the light of the night sky and the star light. Muon images sometimes can mimic gammas. In order to achieve the maximum sensitivity for MAGIC, it is important to understand the characteristics of the muon background. In this paper we will present Monte-Carlo based studies of muon images.
