Abstract
In this paper we show how the incident pixel reconstruction necessary in a scattering γ—ray telescope can affect the imaging performance and sensitivity of the telescope. We show that the incident pixel reconstruction algorithms are least efficient at around 600 keV due to the nature of Compton scattering at these energies.
