Abstract :
A high-energy resolution Compton camera consisting of two segmented Ge detectors is proposed for multitracer research. The basic parameters affecting its spatial resolution are described. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to optimize the detector system. Its suitability for multitracer technology was demonstrated by a test experiment
