Managed at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).

3 GLAST Physics Department
GLAST addresses a broad science menu of interest to both the High Energy Particle Physics and High Energy Astrophysics communities. GLAST Physics Department Themes Relativistic Outflows Greg Madejski Particle Acceleration and Interaction Hiro Tajima Dark Matter and New Physics Larry Wai Systems with super massive black holes & relativistic jets Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) Pulsars Origin of Cosmic Rays Probing the era of galaxy formation Discovery! Particle Dark Matter? Other relics from the Big Bang? Extra dimensions? New source classes? Recommended by the National Academy of Sciences in their 2000 decadal study as the highest priority mid-sized mission
