A phoswich Anger camera for hard X-ray and low energy gamma-ray astronomy

The phoswich technique, used for background reduction, and the Anger camera technique, used for photon interaction position location, have been combined to fabricate a detector for imaging hard X-ray/low energy gamma-ray astronomy. Details of the laboratory performance and sensitivity of the detecto...

Zusammenfassung:The phoswich technique, used for background reduction, and the Anger camera technique, used for photon interaction position location, have been combined to fabricate a detector for imaging hard X-ray/low energy gamma-ray astronomy. Details of the laboratory performance and sensitivity of the detector for observations of astronomical sources are presented.
