Gamma-ray telescope Gamma-1
Description
French and Soviet specialists have designed and built the gamma-ray telescope GAMMA-1 to detect cosmic gamma rays above 50 MeV. The sensitive area of the detector is 1400 sq cm, energy resolution is 30% at 300 MeV, and angular resolution 1.2 deg at 300 MeV (and less than 20 arc when a coded aperture mask is used). Results on calibration of the qualification model and Monte-Carlo calculations are presented
