If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us. You can also check out the official outreach page for more material about GLAST, or read recent preprints which mention GLAST

We are also part of the Astroparticle Physics group from the Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet, located on the Ecole polytechnique campus.

With the GLAST launch scheduled for early 2008 there are opportunities for students to work with us in the field of high-energy/particle astrophysical processes, data analysis or computer science. Again, contact us for more information.

Read about the scientific work from our team and our publications. We build instruments, write analysis software, analyze data and participate in phenomenological modelling.

Read about the science analysis systems we contribute to in the local mirror of the Workbook Here you will find an introduction to the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) offline analysis tools selected and developed by Glast's Science Analysis Systems (SAS) team. Information, links, and exercises are presented here.

Read monthly news from recent LAT activities, on the instrument or from working groups, in the LAT Newsletter (members).
