. The GLAST instrument concept is a gamma-ray pair conversion telescope that usessilicon microstrip detector technology to track the electron-positron pairs resulting from gammarayconversions in thin lead foils. A cesium iodide calorimeter following the tracker is used tomeasure the gamma-ray energy. Silicon strip technology is mature and robust, with an excellentheritage in space science and particle physics. It has many characteristics important for optimalperformance of a pair...
