Andreas Zoglauer - Simulation of Advanced Compton Telescopes in the Space Radiation Environment3/15 Principle of a Compton telescope Photons interact multiple times in active detector.The interaction sequence can be determined from redundant information (scatter angles). The origin of a single not- tracked event can be restricted to the so called “event circle”. The photon originated at the point of overlap.
