Description
The astrophysical observations of gamma rays at MeV energies have not yet been well-explored due to the limitation of detection technology. The so-called “MeV-gap” exists. Opening the window of MeV gamma ray is not only critical for gamma astronomy but also key for many frontier researches in astro-particles, such as looking for the light dark matter, probing the primordial black hole and better understanding of the cosmic-ray propagation.
With the novel scintillation materials, a Compton camera with good energy resolution and angular resolution is under developing. This presentation will first review the MeV gamma-ray searches, and then focus on the development of the Compton camera, including the simulation, design as well as the construction of the functional prototype.
