چکیده
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.

Cosmic-Ray Background Flux Model based on a Gamma-Ray Large-Area Space Telescope Balloon Flight Engineering Model
Cosmic-ray background fluxes were modeled based on existing measurements and theories and are presented here. The model, originally developed for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Balloon Experiment, covers the entire solid angle (4π sr), the sensitive energy range of the instrument (∼ 10 MeV to 100 GeV) and abundant components (proton, alpha, e−, e, μ−, μ and gamma). It is expre...

The performance of a large (3x3 cm 2) streamer tube cell in drift mode is shown. The detector space resolution has been studied using cosmic muons crossing an high precision silicon telescope. The experimental results are compared with a GARFIELD simulation.
متن کاملIn-flight measurement of the absolute energy scale of the Fermi Large Area Telescope
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is a pair-conversion telescope designed to survey the gamma-ray sky from 20 MeV to several hundreds of GeV. In this energy band there are no astronomical sources with sufficiently well known and sharp spectral features to allow an absolute calibration of the LAT energy scale. However, the geomagnetic cutoff in the cosmi...

The coherent states associated to the discrete series representations D(E o , s) of SO(3, 2) are constructed in terms of (spin-)tensor fields on D = 4 anti-de Sitter space. For E o > s + 5 the linear space H Eo,s spanned by these states is proved to carry the unitary irreducible representation D(E o , s). The SO(3, 2)-covariant generalized Fourier transform in this space is exhibited. The quasi...

CANGAROO group has constructed the new large imaging Aiř Cerenkov telescope to exploit hundred GeV region gamma-ray astronomy in March 1999 at Woomera, South Australia. It has a 7m parabolic mirror consisting of 60 small plastic spherical mirrors, and a fine imaging camera with 512 PMTs covering the field of view of 3 degree. Observation will start from July 1999.
