Description
GAMMA-400 is a future high-energy gamma-ray telescope, primarily devoted to the study of gamma-rays in the 50 MeV - 10 TeV energy range. Thanks to a deep segmented calorimeter of novel concept and a state-of-the-art imaging Silicon Tracker, the proposed instrument has an optimal proton rejection factor, angular and energy resolution. The GAMMA-400 experiment is optimized to address a broad range of science topics, such as search for signatures of dark matter, studies of galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sources, galactic and extragalactic diffuse emission, gamma-ray bursts, as well as high precision measurements of high energy electrons flux up to TeV energies, and spectra of protons and nuclei up to 10^15-10^16 eV/nucleon. GAMMA-400 is planned to be launched on the Russian space platform Navigator in 2018.
