【 摘 要 】

An astrophysics application of a low noise Double-sided Silicon Strip Detector (DSSD) is described. A Semiconductor Multiple-Compton Telescope (SMCT) is being developed to explore the gamma-ray universe in the 0.1 20 MeV energy band. Excellent energy resolution and polarization sensitivity are key features of the SMCT.
