Scientific paper

A brief account is given of a new technique for gamma-ray detection in the GeV energy region based on pair production and channelling radiation in a single crystal. Where typical error boxes for conventional gamma-ray telescopes flown on satellites cover a few square degrees (and therefore often fail to identify optical counterparts), the new principle benefits from the fact that a 100 GeV gamma-ray has a pair-production opening angle of 1.6 arcsec (comparable with the resolution of ground-based optical telescopes).
