Characteristics of the telescope for high energy gamma-ray astronomy selected for definition studies on the Gamma Ray ObservatoryThe high energy gamma-ray telescope selected for definition studies on the Gamma Ray Observatory provides a substantial improvement in observational capability over earlier instruments. It will have about 20 times more sensitivity, cover a much broader energy range, have considerably better energy resolution and provide a significantly improved angular resolution. The design and performance are described.
