With the commissioning of the second MAGIC gamma-ray Cherenkov telescope situated close to MAGIC-I, the standard analysis package of the MAGIC collaboration, MARS, has been upgraded in order to perform the stereoscopic reconstruction of the detected atmospheric showers. MARS is a ROOT-based code written in C++, which includes all the necessary algorithms to transform the raw data recorded by the telescopes into information about the physics parameters of the observed targets. An overview of the methods for extracting the basic shower parameters is presented, together with a description of the tools used in the background discrimination and in the estimation of the gamma-ray source spectra.

- The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system (2014, unknown): “The total capacity of the storage units is ∼100 TB. High level analysis results are produced on-site by all analysis nodes using the standard analysis software MARS (Zanin et al. 2013), and are usually available a few hours after the end of the data taking.”
