Abstract: A novel PET detector consisting of strips of polymer scintillators is being developed by the J-PET Collaboration. The map of efficiency and the map of geometrical acceptance of the 2-strip J-PET scanner are presented. Map of efficiency was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation software GATE based on GEANT4. Both maps were compared using method based on the chi2 test.<br />Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, proceeding from conference Symposium on Positron Emission Tomography: http://koza.if.uj.edu.pl/pet-symposium-2013/
