Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope

People: Jan Conrad (docent), Christine Meurer (post-doc), Joachim Ripken (post-doc), Alexander Sellerholm (PhD student), Tomi Ylinen (PhD student)

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is a satellite mission for measuring high-energy gamma-rays from space. The project is an international collaboration, involving institutions from France, Italy, Japan, Sweden and USA. The effective energy range is 10 keV - 300 GeV. The satellite consists of two different instruments, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). Our group participated in the 2006 beam tests of the LAT calibration unit. Our main interest is the search for dark matter signal.
