The Advanced Gamma-ray Imaging System (AGIS): Simulation Studies

Maier, G.

Understand

The Advanced Gamma-ray Imaging System (AGIS) is a next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory being planned in the U.S.

The anticipated sensitivity of AGIS is about one order of magnitude better than the sensitivity of current observatories, allowing it to measure gammaray emmission from a large number of Galactic and extra-galactic sources.
We present here results of simulation studies of various possible designs for AGIS.
The primary characteristics of the array performance - collecting area, angular resolution, background rejection, and sensitivity - are discussed.
