Glast, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope
The exchange between laboratory physics and astrophysics has demonstrated through centuries of science to be at the origin of fundamental discoveries. GLAST, a detector for cosmic γ rays in the range from 20 MeV to 300 GeV, is built around this idea: both the design of the instrument and the guidelines for science originate from a partnership of researchers from High Energy Physics (HEP) and Hi...
متن کاملGLAST, a Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope
The GLAST LAT instrument has been designed for high precision gamma-ray detection in space. It will contain more than 80m of single-sided AC-coupled silicon detectors. The design of the instrument will be described, and the predicted performance will be traced back to the scientific goals of the GLAST mission. The application in space will require stringent requirements for the silicon detector...
متن کاملGamma-ray Pulsar Simulations for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST)
We present here the current status of pulsar simulations for the Large Area Telescope, the main instrument on the GLAST mission. We present PulsarSpectrum, a pulsar simulator that can reproduce with high detail gamma-ray emission from pulsars. PulsarSpectrum takes into account advanced timing effects, e.g. period changes with time, barycentering effects and glitches. Other ancillary tools have ...

A beam test of GLAST (Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope) components was performed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in October, 1997. These beam test components were simple versions of the planned flight hardware. Results on the performance of the tracker, calorimeter, and anti-coincidence charged particle veto are presented.
متن کاملThe Physics and Status of the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope
A gamma-ray pair conversion telescope is being developed for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope mission. It is based upon silicon-strip detectors for particle tracking and a CsI calorimeter for energy measurement. The use of such modern particle detection technology will result in more than a factor of 30 improvement in sensitivity over previous missions. In this paper we describe the ins...
