    4242In this year the construction of the the $17~\mathrm{m}$ diameter
    43 Che\-ren\-kov telescope called MAGIC will be finished. The aim of this
     43Che\-ren\-kov telescope called MAGIC \cite{mc98}
     44will be finished. The aim of this
    4445detector is the observation of $\gamma$-ray sources in the
    4546enery region above $\approx 10~\mathrm{TeV}$.

    8788The simulation of gammas and of hadrons is done with
    88 the CORSIKA program, version ????.

    268271\subsubsection{Collection area}
    269272
     273The trigger collection area is defined as the integral
     274\begin{equation}
     275  A(E,\Theta)  = \int_{F}{ T(E,\Theta,F) dF}
     276\end{equation}
     277where T is the trigger probablity. F is perpendicular to
     278the shower axis. The results for different zenith angle $\Theta$ and
     279for different trigger settings are shown in figure

    272297
     298The threshold of the MAGIC telesope is defined as the peak
     299in the $dN/dE$ distribution. For all different trigger settings
     300this value is determined.
