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...

ASTRI is a flagship project of the italian Ministry of Instruction, University and Research and represents the italian proposal for the development of the Small Scale Telescope (SST) system of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), which is the planned next generation observatory for very high energy gamma-rays (20 GeV - 100 TeV).
The ASTRI (Astrofisica a Specchi con Tecnologia Replicante...

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is currently being deployed on the slopes of Volcan Sierra Negra, Puebla, Mexico. The HAWC observatory will consist of 300 Water Cherenkov Detectors totaling approximately 22,000 m^2 of instrumented area. The water Cherenkov technique allows HAWC to have a nearly 100\% duty cycle and large field of view, making the HAWC observatory an ideal...

JEM-EUSO will be the first observatory to explore from space the
universe at ultra-high energies. Hosted on the JEM platform on board the
ISS, it will use an innovative refractive optics and sophisticated focal
surface to observe the UV fluorescence light emitted, in the 320-400 nm
band, by extensive air showers generated by primary particles interacting
in the atmosphere. The telescope...
