Abstract
Abstract AGILE (Light Imager for Gamma-ray Astrophysics) is a small scientific satellite for the detection of cosmic γ-ray sources in the energy range 30 MeV – 50 GeV with a very large field of view (1/4 of the sky). It is planned to be operational in the years 2003–2006, a period in which no other γ-ray mission in the same energy range is foreseen. The heart of the AGILE scientific instrument is a silicon–tungsten tracker made of 14 planes of single sided silicon detectors for a total of 43 000 readout channels. Each detector has a dimension of 9.5×9.5 cm 2 and a thickness of 410 μm . We present here a detailed description of the performance of the detector pro...
