Description
The ROSPHERE array, a gamma-ray spectrometer composed of Germanium and LaBr3(Ce) detectors and optimized for lifetime measurements, has been built and is now in operation at the TANDEM Laboratory of IFIN-HH Bucharest. During several experimental campaigns this setup proved to be a very useful tool for measuring in-beam lifetimes of excited nuclear levels in the sub-nanosecond range, complementing in this way the experimental data obtained using larger gamma detection arrays. Moreover, the experience gained by building and using this in-beam fast timing setup in Bucharest is presently used for building similar setups for other experimental facilities. This presentation intends to offer a brief description of ROSPHERE and a quick overview of the experimental results obtained using it in Bucharest.
