Monte Carlo study of scintillating fiber gamma ray telescopes

The EGS4 (Electron Gamma Shower 4) Monte Carlo program was used to investigate the angular and energy response of double Compton scattering telescopes using plastic scintillating fibers coupled to position-sensitive photomultipliers. The program allows the optimization of important parameters for telescopes under development. The influence of the parameters on the efficiency, and the angular, position, and energy resolution of the telescope was studied. Preliminary results are presented.<
