The aim is to apply multiple hypothesis testing methods to steady point sources search. We will here optimise the method to maximise the detection power, while controling the confidence level of an hypothetical discovery. This can be achieved thanks to a new statistical procedure developped by J. Benjamini et al., the so called "False Discovery Rate" (FDR). The interesting points are that the procedure is independent of any hypothesis on the signal, and naturally takes into account the trial factor.
