Scientific paper

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on the Swift gamma-ray burst mission will perform the first new all sky hard x-ray survey since 1977. BAT is a coded aperture instrument with 17 arcminute pixels and a 2 ster partially coded field of view. The imaging area has 32768 CdZnTe detectors, each 4X4X2 mm, with a total area of 5243 cm2. Swift will perform pointings covering >64% of the sky each day and achieve an integrated sensitivity in three years of 0.6 milliCrabs for sources well off the Galactic plane. This survey is expected to identify hundreds of new highly obscured AGN. .
