Calibration of the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (egret) for the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory

Astrophysical Journal, Supplement Series, Volume 86, No. 2, Year 1993

Calibration of the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory involves simulation, experimental calibration, and verification in flight. The principal properties of the instrument which have been determined as a function of energy and angle are the effective area, the angular resolution (point spread function), and the energy resolution (dispersion).
