摘要
This paper describes the balloon-flight version of a low energy (0.2-20 MeV) gamma-ray telescope developed in collaboration by the Milan and Southampton groups. The instrument embodies a Compton-coincidence system comprising an upper liquid scintillator and a large sodium iodide crystal (560 cm2). This detector is mounted inside a semiactive shielding system which collimates the incident photons (1.5° fwhm). The telescope is mounted in an orientation system which has a pointing accuracy of better than 0.5°. The instrument has been extensively tested using beams of γ-rays, neutrons and high energy protons (2 GeV/c). © 1979 North-Holland Publishing Co.
