Scientific paper

LXeCAT is a balloon borne experiment which will be capable of imaging gamma -ray astrophysical sources in the energy region from 300 keV to 10 MeV, with a point source location accuracy of few arcminutes. The telescope consists of a Liquid Xenon Time Projection Chamber (LXe-TPC) as three-dimensional position sensitive detector, coupled to a coded aperture mask. A 10 liter LXe-TPC prototype with an active area of 20 cm x 20 cm has been constructed to evaluate the design and engineering aspects of this type of detector for space applications and to test and calibrate its response for spectroscopy and imaging of gamma -rays at MeV energies. In this paper we review the properties of LXeCAT and present results from laboratory tests of the prototype.
