我们描述了一个未来的伽马射线/宇宙射线使命称为先进粒子天体物理望远镜（APT）的发展。该仪器将联合收割机结合一对跟踪器和康普顿望远镜在一个单一的单片设计。通过使用跟踪器和波长移位光纤读出CsI探测器的放大光纤，该仪器将实现一个数量级的灵敏度提高与费米相比，但具有更少的读出通道，和更低的复杂性。通过在一个非常大的有效面积上结合多个康普顿成像，与其他拟议的仪器相比，该仪器还将实现MeV灵敏度的数量级改进。该使命将对天体粒子物理学产生广泛影响，但该使命的主要科学驱动因素包括：（1）在整个自然质量范围内探测WIMP暗物质和湮灭截面，以获得热WIMP，（2）提供几乎全天的瞬时FoV，对伽马射线瞬变，如中子星合并，进行迅速的次度局部化和偏振测量，以及（3）测量罕见的超重宇宙射线核，以区分n星合并和SNae r-过程合成的重元素。我们将描述正在进行的工作，包括一系列的加速器束测试，背驮式Antactic飞行（APTlite）和最近资助的长期气球使命：南极演示APT（ADAPT）。
We describe the development of a future gamma-ray/cosmic-ray mission called the Advanced Particle-astrophysics Telescope (APT). The instrument will combine a pair tracker and Compton telescope in a single monolithic design. By using scintillating fibers for the tracker and wavelength-shifting fibers to readout CsI detectors, the instrument will achieve an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with Fermi but with fewer readout channels, and lower complexity. By incorporating multiple Compton imaging over a very large effective area, the instrument will also achieve orders of magnitude improvement in MeV sensitivity compared with other proposed instruments. The mission would have a broad impact on astroparticle physics, but the primary science drivers for the mission include: (1) probing WIMP dark matter across the entire natural mass range and annihilation cross section for a thermalWIMP, (2) providing a nearly all-sky instantaneous FoV, with prompt sub-degree localization and polarization measurements for gamma-ray transients such as neutron-star mergers and (3) making measurements of rare utraheavy cosmic ray nuclei to distinguish between n-star merger and SNae r-process synthesis of the heavy elements. We will describe ongoing work including a series of accelerator beam tests, a piggy-back Antactic flight (APTlite) and the recently funded long-duration balloon mission: the Antarctic Demonstrator for APT (ADAPT).
