GLAST: A partnership in astro and particle physics
The Gamma Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a {gt}8000 cm{sup 2} effective area (at {gt}1 GeV) pair conversion telescope using silicon strip detectors that is scheduled to be launched in the year 2005. GLAST will record photons from 20 MeV to 300 GeV with a point spread function of .4{degree} at 1 GeV. Because of its large effective area, almost 2{pi} solid angle of view, and long experimental life (no expendables), GLAST will accumulate {approximately}50 times more photons than EGRET (2) from any point in the sky. The collaboration presently consists of both astro and particle physicists from 28 international institutions. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
