An Experiment to Measure the Direction and Energy Spectrum of Extraterrestrial Gamma Rays in the Energy Range 1–10 MeV from Balloon Altitudes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Problems of making a device for directional measurements of extraterrestrial gamma rays in the MeV-range are discussed – especially background counting rates. A detector system is described which is planned to be flown in a series of balloon experiments in order to provide a better understanding of the sources of background and their elimination.
