| Abstract: | A telescope capable of producing images of the gamma ray sky in the energy range 0.2–20 MeV with an angular resolution of a few tenths of a degree is presented. This capability is achieved by means of a large array of Sodium Iodide position sensitive elements together with a coded imaging mask. The expected performance, derived from calculations and preliminary laboratory tests, is described. |
