Performance

Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) is now in its fourth year of operation on orbit. The LAT is performing well after more than 200 billion triggered readouts of the instrument detector elements, with only very minor issues with its Silicon Tracker, CsI Calorimeter and Anti-coincidence detector sub-systems. We summarize the current operational status of the LAT. We also discuss some possible future improvements in LAT performance and capabilities, in measures such as low-energy response and angular resolution, which could be achieved through reconfiguration of trigger and readout systems in the detector, with pointers to some of the science gains expected from these possible instrument changes.
