The possibilities of simultaneous detection of gamma rays, cosmic-ray electrons and positrons on the GAMMA-400 space observatory
2011
The GAMMA-400 space observatory will pro- vide precise measurements of gamma rays, electrons, and positrons in the energy range 0.1-3000 GeV. The good an- gular and energy resolutions, as well as identification capa- bilities (angular resolution 0.01 , energy resolution 1%, and proton rejection factor 10 6 ) will allow us to study the main galactic and extragalactic sources, diffuse gamma-ray background, gamma-ray bursts, and to measure electron and positron fluxes. The peculiar characteristics of the experi- ment is simultaneous detection of gamma rays and cosmic- ray electrons and positrons, which can be connected with an- nihilation or decay of dark matter particles.
