Title: A Bayesian-based Method for Particle Track Identification in Low-energy Pair-creation Telescopes

Abstract

A critical step during the data analysis of pair creation telescopes is the correct identification of the electron and positron tracks. For MEGA, an electron-tracking Compton and pair telescope optimized for energies up to 50 MeV, we describe a low-energy pair event reconstruction approach partly based on Bayesian statistics.
