Abstract
The study of gamma rays is fundamental for our understanding of the universe: gamma rays probe the most energetic phenomena occurring in nature, and several signatures of new physics are associated with the emission of gamma rays. The main science objectives and the status of the new generation high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics experiment AGILE are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
