Artistic view of GLAST

This is the GLAST sensitivity compared with the othes present and future detectors in the gamma ray astrophysics range

(Weeks et al. 1996, excepting GLAST , ARGO and AGILE sensitivity). All sensitivities are at 5s. The predicted sensitivity of a number of operational and proposed Ground based Cherenkov telescopes,  CELESTE, STACEE, VERITAS, Whipple is for a 50 hour exposure on a single source. EGRET, MILAGRO,  GLAST and AGILE  sensitivity is shown for one year of all sky survey. MAGIC sensitivity based on the availability of high efficiency PMT's
Note that on ground only MILAGRO and ARGO will observe more than one source simultaneously

This is the Energy range covered by the different experiments versus the activity period.
