Abstract

The AGILE scientific instrument has been calibrated with a tagged $\gamma$-ray beam at the Beam Test Facility (BTF) of the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF). The goal of the calibration was the measure of the Point Spread Function (PSF) as a function of the photon energy and incident angle and the validation of the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of the silicon tracker operation. The calibration setup is described and some preliminary results are presented.<br />Comment: Presented at the 2nd Roma International Conference on Astroparticle Physics 2009, Villa Mondragone, Rome, Italy, May 13-15 2009.
