Physics

Scientific paper

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, GLAST, is a satellite-based experiment to measure the cosmic gamma-ray flux in the energy range 20 MeV to >300 GeV. With a sensitivity that is more than a factor 30 greater than that of the EGRET detector on GRO, GLAST will open a new and important window on a wide variety of high energy phenomena, including supermassive black holes and active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, supernova remnants and cosmic ray acceleration, and searches for new phenomena such as supersymmetric dark matter annihilations and big bang particle relics. The launch is scheduled for 2006. This talk will include a summary of the physics, the scientific capabilities, the novel collaboration of particle physicists and high energy astrophysicists, and the mission status.
