Atmospheric Response for MeV Gamma Rays Observed with Balloon-Borne Detectors

Chris Karwin, Carolyn Kierans, Albert Shih +9

The atmospheric response for MeV gamma rays (~ 0.1 - 10 MeV) can be characterized in terms of two observed components. The first component is due to photons that reach the detector…
