We present a design for a pixelated scintillator based gamma-ray spectrometer [1] that was successfully fielded on an all-optical inverse Compton scattering experiment [2]. Here it measured up to 100 MeV gamma-ray photon energies emitted in the collision of a laser wakefield accelerated electron beam with a tightly focused, intense laser pulse. We were able to extract the gamma-ray spectra generated by modelling the scintillator response in GEANT4 and fitting photon spectra from a quantum Monte Carlo code.
