Résumé

The Compton Cube is a 4π γ-ray telescope operating in the energy range of 100 keV-2 MeV onboard a microsatellite. Submitted in response to a CNES announcement of opportunity, this experiment makes use of the CdTe technology developed for ISGRI, the low-energy γ-ray camera of the IBIS telescope onboard INTEGRAL. It also takes advantage of the newly developed detectors with screening effect that offer an energy resolution better than 2% above 0.5 MeV. Spatial and spectral performances cooperate to provide a very compact experiment with very good performances in terms of sensitivity, spectral resolution and angular resolution. Thanks to its field of view, it is ideal for the study of transient events such as classical novae, γ-ray bursts, X-ray novae and AGNs. It offers also very long observing time in any direction, enabling an unbiased and high sensitivity mapping of the celestial sphere, particularly well suited to the study of the interstellar emission (lines and continuum) and the extragalactic background.
