Scientific paper

Laboratory trials of a gamma ray detector for the energy range 0.3 to 10.0 MeV are reported; the detector is intended for use on board a stratospheric balloon. The angular resolution of the Compton telescope used in the detection system is determined, and the background noise associated with the instrument is assessed. The detector provides better signal-to-noise characteristics than the omnidirectional device described by Martin (1975) and should yield good results for observing campaigns directed at the center of the Galaxy.
