The Fermi group at Stanford University
|
|
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is the product of an
international collaboration.
This web site belongs to the team at Stanford University which works on
the Large Area Telescope instrument. The main collaboration web
sites can be found at
The Stanford group is led by Professor
Peter Michelson, who is also the Principal Investigator for the Fermi Large Area
Telescope.
We are affiliated with these laboratories at Stanford:
All of these Scientists are located in the Physics &
Astrophysics building at
