Abstract
e-ASTROGAM is an observatory space mission dedicated to the study of the gamma radiation in the range from 0.3 MeV to 3 GeV. The detector is composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system. The mission is based on an advanced space-proven detector technology, with unprecedented sensitivity, angular and energy resolution, combined with polarimetric capability. Thanks to its performance in the MeV-GeV domain, substantially improving its predecessors, eASTROGAM will open a new window on the non-thermal Universe. In particular it will determine the origin of key isotopes fundamental for the understanding of supernova explosions and the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. It will also shed light on the processes behind the acceleration of cosmic rays in our Galaxy.
