Cover Story: Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) have revolutionized our understanding of the universe at very high energies (VHEs), enabling groundbreaking discoveries of extreme astrophysical phenomena. These instruments capture the brief flashes of Cherenkov light produced when VHE particles interact with Earth’s atmosphere, providing unique insights into cosmic accelerators and high-energy radiation sources. We describe how the pixel time tags can help in the discrimination between photonic and hadronic showers, with a focus on the ASTRI Mini-Array Cherenkov Event Reconstruction. Our methodology employs a Random Forest classifier with optimized hyperparameters, trained on a balanced dataset of gamma and hadron events. This machine learning approach enables effective integration of both morphological and temporal information, resulting in improved classification performance. View this paper
