The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a pair-conversion gamma-ray detector designed to explore the gamma-ray universe in the 20 MeV–300 GeV energy band. The Tracker subsystem of the LAT will perform tracking of electrons and positrons to determine the origin of the gamma-ray. The LAT instrument, the Calibration Unit (CU) and the beamtest performed at CERN during the summer 2006 are described in this paper.

Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a pair-conversion gamma-ray detector designed to explore the gamma-ray universe in the 20 MeV–300 GeV energy band. The Tracker subsystem of the LAT will perform tracking of electrons and positrons to determine the origin of the gamma-ray. The LAT instrument, the Calibration Unit (CU) and the beamtest performed at CERN during the summer 2006 are described in this paper.File in questo prodotto:
