Scientific paper

The design of a large-area gamma-ray detector with high angular and energy resolution for space-based experiments, using scintillating fibers and recently developed position-sensitive photomultiplier tubes, is presented. The structural and functional characteristics of the telescope instruments, a Compton-pair production converter, gas drift time projection chamber (TPC), and calorimeter, are given. It is concluded that with this design the Compton electron or pair production point can be determined by the scintillation photons reaching the photomultipliers. A three-dimensional conversion point accuracy is expected to be approximately 1 mm.
