Converter/Tracker
The parameters that mainly affect the angular resolution of silicon-based Trackers in the AGILE and Fermi-LAT configurations are:
1. The thickness X0 of each plane (multiple scattering)
2. The spacing (lever arm) between planes3. The pitch of the strips and the thickness of the
Si sensors4. The read-out approach (analog or binary)5. Event filtering, event topology and noise

Calorimeter
Overall Geometrical Factor: 5 X (1.72 m2 sr) = 8.5 m2 sr For electrons (1 TeV) with selection criteria allowing an
efficiency of 33%: Resolution 1% GF 8.5 x 0.33 = 2.84 m2 sr
For protons allowing for an suitable shower development and containment: Efficiency 44% corresponding to an effective GF = 3.75 m2 sr In absence of software and/or hardware compensation the
energy resolution for protons is of about 33%. By applying those compensations simulations indicates that 16% is reachable.
Rejection power for protons when selecting electrons is >105 simulation work is ongoing.

Conclusions
The Gamma-400 mission represents a unique opportunity to perform simultaneous measurements of photons, electrons and nuclei with unprecedented accuracy.
Gamma-400 can provide in-depth investigations on some of the most challenging physics items, such as DM search, CR origin, production and acceleration to the highest energies…
A TDR of the upgraded version of the instrument will be presented by mid 2013.
The launch is currently scheduled by November 2018.
