Description
The present design of the new space gamma-ray telescope GAMMA-400
for the energy range 50 MeV - 3 TeV is presented. The proposed
instrument has an angular resolution of 1-2 degrees at E(gamma) ~100 MeV
and ~0.01 degrees at E(gamma) > 100 GeV and an energy resolution ~1% at
E(gamma) > 100 GeV. By the mean of a deep segmented calorimeter high energy electrons flux can be studied, with a proton rejection factor of about 10^6. The GAMMA-400 experiment is optimized to address a broad range of science topics, such as search for signatures of dark matter, studies of Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sources, Galactic and extragalactic diffuse emission, gamma-ray bursts, as well as high-precision measurements of spectra of cosmic-ray high energy electrons, and protons and nuclei up to the knee.
