Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.34, no.2, p.185-97 (1989). The overall performance of a Compton spectrometer and, in particular, its energy resolution are investigated both experimentally and theoretically for different scattering materials. Using low-Z (<or=8) scatterers of moderate sizes (scatterer diameter dor=150 keV.Keywords
