title = "COCOA: A compact Compton camera for astrophysical observation of MeV-scale gamma rays",
abstract = "COCOA (COmpact COmpton cAmera) is a next-generation gamma-ray telescope designed for astrophysical observations in the MeV energy range. The detector comprises a scatterer volume employing the LiquidO detection technology and an array of scintillating crystals acting as absorber. Surrounding plastic scintillator panels serve as a veto system for charged particles. The detector's compact, scalable design enables flexible deployment on microsatellites or high-altitude balloons. Gamma rays at MeV energies have not been well explored historically (the so-called “MeV gap”) and COCOA has the potential to improve the sensitivity in this energy band.",
