Physics

Scientific paper

A new type of gamma-ray telescope operating in the energy range of 10MeV <= E <= 300 GeV which utilizes scintillating fibers will be described. This instrument will be a wide field-of-view telescope with about 10 times the sensitivity of EGRET and superior detector characteristics. The detector is composed of modules consisting of thin lead sheets and plastic scintillating fibers configures such that both tracking and calorimetry can be done in the same volume. We will describe an engineering model which is being developed to test the experiment concept at an accelerator. Monte Carlo simulations of a telescope configuration suitable for the GLAST mission will be presented.
