Scientific paper

The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) imager will use a novel design, which consists of three layers of about 3000 small CsI(Tl) scintillation elements each. We illustrate the operation of such a design by means of nine CsI(Tl) bars forming a 3 x 3 array. Several collimated radioactive sources were used to obtain experimental data showing different kinds of events and modes of operation. One of the array bars was irradiated with high-energy protons in order to study modes of background rejection in the imager. A comparison with Monte Carlo simulation results is also presented.
