Scientific paper

The GLAST instrument is dedicated to gamma-ray astronomy in a wide energy range of 20 MeV to 300 GeV, but could be used to study gamma-rays or cosmic electrons up to a few TeV. In this paper we study the high energy response of GLAST from 10 GeV up to one TeV. Reconstruction algorithms are presented both for energy and direction measurements using the GLAST calorimeter. Performance estimates are made based on the application of these algorithms to detailed simulated data. Using these estimates we study the sensitivity of GLAST to very high energy cosmic electrons. .
