Main Scientific goals:
search and monitoring of the Northern sky sources (-10° £d£ 70°) at 100 GeV energy threshold with ~ 1/10 Crab flux sensitivity.
from the Galactic plane, SuperNova Remnants, molecular clouds at energies >=100 GeV (never observed so far).
extending the satellite measurements over the full GeV/TeV range.
at energies ~ 1 TeV with a sensitivity adequate to distinguish between models of local (galactic) anti-p production and models accounting for an extragalactic origin.
in the 10 - 200 TeV energy range, with size reconstruction accuracy better than 10 % and sensitivity sufficient to detect a sharp change of the slope of the energy spectrum.
including cosmic ray modulation phenomena at an energy threshold of ~ 10 GeV, large scale structures of the interplanetary medium, high energy solar gamma-rays and neutrons.
