High galactic latitudes(!b=2 10-5 " cm-2 s-1 sr -1 (100 MeV/E)1.1). Cerenkov telescopes sensitivities
(Veritas, MAGIC, Whipple, Hess, Celeste, Stacee, Hegra) are for 50 hours of observations.Large field of
view detectors sensitivities (AGILE, GLAST, Milagro, ARGO, AMS) are for 1 year of observation.
Sensitivity of "-ray detectors

(1) Organize and schedule regular meetings of the group
(2) Review the list of anticipated papers and, with special attention to papers likelyto be generated from data obtained during the first year of operation. Also,identify any papers that the group can generate before launch.

Neutralino WIMPs
Assume # present in the galactic halo• # is its own antiparticle => can annihilate in galactic haloproducing gamma-rays, antiprotons, positrons….• Antimatter not produced in large quantities through standard processes(secondary production through p + p --> p + X)• So, any extra contribution from exotic sources (# # annihilation) is aninteresting signature• ie: # # --> p + X• Produced from (e. g.) # # --> q / g / gauge boson / Higgs boson andsubsequent decay and/ or hadronisation.

Summary of GLAST physic itemsCosmic Diffuse Background
Origin is still a mystery for gamma rays
Is there a truly diffuse cosmological component?
Supermassive BHs and AGNRemarkable objects that shine most brightly in gamma rays
Gamma rays probe central engine
Gamma rays probe jets
GRBsHigh-energy prompt and delayed emission not understoodEGRET provided only a glimpseQuantum gravity effects possible
Unidentified SourcesMystery has been with us for > 20 years
Third EGRET Catalog includes 170 unidentified sources
A new class of Galactic sources?
SNRs Site of CR acceleration E < 1015 eV (still unproven for nuclei!) Should see extended sources in gammas (from 'o
decay) to answer the question definitively
Pulsars Gemingas only shine in gamma regime
Uncover acceleration mechanisms
Understand beaming
Cosmology - AGNs Spectral roll-offs due to EBL are in GLAST range
GLAST can see to z > 4
Cosmology - Dark Matter PBHs, cosmic strings, WIMP annihilation all
predicted to shine in gamma rays
