In recent years, Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) have discovered a rich diversity of very high energy (VHE, >100 GeV) γ -ray emitters in the sky. These instruments image Cherenkov light emitted by γ -ray induced particle cascades in the atmosphere. Background from the much more numerous cosmic-ray cascades is efficiently reduced by considering the shape of the shower images, and the capability to reduce this background is one of the key aspects that determine the sensitivity of a IACT. In this work we apply a tree classification method to data from the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). We show the stability of the method and its capabilities to yield an improved background reduction compared to the H.E.S.S. Standard Analysis.
