Satellite-borne $\gamma$-ray astrophysics from coherent interactions in oriented crystals

Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Gianfranco Paternò, Alexei Sytov +20

High-density and high-Z crystals are key elements of most space-borne $\gamma$-ray telescopes operating at gigaelectronvolt energies (such as Fermi-LAT). The lattice structure is usuall…
