Scientific paper
The scientific instrument of the AGILE mission is innovative in many ways. It is an integrated instrument based on three detecting systems: (1) a Silicon Tracker, (2) a Mini-Calorimeter, and (3) an ultralight coded mask system with Si-detectors (Super-AGILE). For a relatively low mass (~70 kg) and large ratio of expected performance over cost, AGILE is planned to provide (i) Optimal imaging in the energy bands 30 MeV-50 GeV (5-10 arcmin for intense sources) and 10-40 keV (1-3 arcmin). (ii) Optimal timing capabilities, with independent readout systems and minimal dead-times for the Silicon Tracker, Super-AGILE and Mini-Calorimeter. (iii) A very large field of view for the gamma-ray imaging detector (3 sr) and Super-AGILE (1 sr). .
