ENEA-IRIS Open Archive è l’archivio della produzione scientifica dell'ENEA, realizzato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, catalogare e rendere facilmente accessibili in rete i risultati della ricerca. Gli autori dell’ENEA provvedono a depositare le proprie pubblicazioni (articoli su rivista, presentazioni a congressi, report, ecc.). In particolare, quelle finanziate dalla Commissione Europea nell’ambito del programma H2020 (che prevede il deposito obbligatorio in un Repository), una volta caricate, vengono automaticamente importate dal portale europeo OpenAIRE. È possibile inserire, o importare direttamente dalle banche dati previste, le informazioni descrittive del documento e anche allegare, ove consentito dalla normativa sul diritto d'autore, il testo completo della pubblicazione.

ENEA-IRIS Open Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da CINECA.

AGILE is an ASI gamma-ray astrophysics space Mission which will operate in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV range with imaging capabilities also in the 10 - 40 keV range. Primary scientific goals include the study of AGNs, gamma-ray bursts, Galactic sources, unidentified gamma-ray sources, diffuse Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray emission, high-precision timing studies, and Quantum Gravity testing. The AGILE scientific instrument is based on an innovative design of three detecting systems: (1) a Silicon Tracker, (2) a Mini-Calorimeter, and (3) an ultralight coded mask system with Si-detectors (Super-AGILE). AGILE is designed to provide: (1) excellent imaging in the energy bands 30 MeV-50 GeV (5-10 arcmin for intense sources) and 10-40 keV (1-3 arcmin); (2) optimal timing capabilities, with independent readout systems and minimal deadtimes for the Silicon Tracker, Super-AGILE and Mini-Calorimeter; (3) large field of view for the gamma-ray imaging detector (~3 sr) and Super-AGILE (~1 sr). AGILE will be the only Mission entirely dedicated to observations above 30 MeV during the period 2004-2006.

Abstract

AGILE is an ASI gamma-ray astrophysics space Mission which will operate in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV range with imaging capabilities also in the 10 - 40 keV range. Primary scientific goals include the study of AGNs, gamma-ray bursts, Galactic sources, unidentified gamma-ray sources, diffuse Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray emission, high-precision timing studies, and Quantum Gravity testing. The AGILE scientific instrument is based on an innovative design of three detecting systems: (1) a Silicon Tracker, (2) a Mini-Calorimeter, and (3) an ultralight coded mask system with Si-detectors (Super-AGILE). AGILE is designed to provide: (1) excellent imaging in the energy bands 30 MeV-50 GeV (5-10 arcmin for intense sources) and 10-40 keV (1-3 arcmin); (2) optimal timing capabilities, with independent readout systems and minimal deadtimes for the Silicon Tracker, Super-AGILE and Mini-Calorimeter; (3) large field of view for the gamma-ray imaging detector (~3 sr) and Super-AGILE (~1 sr). AGILE will be the only Mission entirely dedicated to observations above 30 MeV during the period 2004-2006.
