Description

TIGRE is an advanced telescope for gamma-ray astronomy. From 0.3 to 10 MeV it is a Compton telescope. Above 1 MeV, its multi-layers of double sided silicon strip detectors allow for Compton recoil electron tracking and the unique determination for incident photon direction. From 10 to 100 MeV the tracking feature is utilized for gamma-ray pair event reconstruction. The acceptance of large scattered gamma-rays also makes TIGRE a good polarimeter below 2 MeV. Here we present the status of the TIGRE Instrument
