摘要: The highly transient nature of cosmic low-energy gamma-ray sources offers unique insight into the astrophysics extreme processes. Sensitive, long-term, all-sky monitoring is required to make sense variable emission. Instrumentation for such observations must have combination large effective collection area, wide field-of-view and good angular resolution. Recent advances in position-sensitive detectors associated electronics it possible consider a multi-scatter Compton telescope, combined with coded mask, as an monitor energy range /spl sim/10 keV few MeV. We present simulations various configurations instrument show that can provide substantial improvement over other sky strategies this regime.
