Background energy unit

[maxnoe]

The units of the background are defined to be : s^-1 MeV^-1 sr^-1

Everywhere else in the IRFs we use TeV as energy unit.

Agreed, I would also prefer TeV^-1 here. @adonath, @registerrier, @jknodlseder - could you comment whether the science tools rely on the unit being MeV^-1?

Nothing relies on a unit of MeV^-1, but MeV is the natural unit for gamma-ray astronomy ;-)
