The GLAST tracker design and construction
2002
Abstract The Gamma-ray Large Area Space
Telescope(GLAST) is an international and multi-agency space mission that will study the
cosmosin the energy range 20 MeV – 1 TeV. GLAST is an imaging gamma-ray
telescopemore much capable than instruments flown previously. The main instrument on board of the spacecraft is the Large Area
Telescope(LAT), a high energy pair conversion
telescopeconsisting of three major subsystems: a precision silicon tracker/converter, a CsI electromagnetic calorimeter and a segmented anti-coincidence system. In this article, we present the status of the construction and tests of the silicon tracker.
