32. The FRIB project and prospects for gamma-ray spectroscopy

Dr Alexandra Gade (MSU)

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is presently under construction on the Michigan State University campus adjacent to the National Superconducting cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). FRIB will provide fast, stopped, and reaccelerated beams of rare isotopes at intensities exceeding NSCL's capabilities by three orders of magnitude. An outlook will be provided on the enormous opportunities that...

27. Developments and perspectives with the FATIMA array

Prof. Alison Bruce (University of Brighton)

FATIMA is an array of LaBr3-Ce detectors that has been constructed as part of the DESPEC experiment at NUSTAR. The array will be used with the AIDA implantation detector at the focal plane of the super-FRS to measure sub-nanosecond lifetimes of levels in exotic nuclei. In preparation for operation at NUSTAR, a portion of the array has been utilised in experiments e.g. at RIKEN and at the...

31. The PARIS array – concept, status and first experiments

Prof. Adam Maj (IFJ PAN)

28/06/2016, 12:20

The PARIS (Photon Array for studies with Radioactive Ion and Stable beams) is the gamma calorimeter under construction within large international collaboration, for experiments at GANIL/SPIRAL2 and other European and worldwide nuclear physics facilities. It is a modular detector, each module is a rectangular detector based on the phoswich concept – made from 2 connected scintillators: LaBr3...

25. Perspectives of high spin gamma-ray spectroscopy of heavy nuclei produced in fusion-evaporation reactions using GALILEO/AGATA arrays and the Recoil Filter Detector at stable and radioactive beams.

Dr Piotr Bednarczyk (IFJ PAN, Krakow)

Great progress in understanding of both individual excitations of nucleons and collective phenomena has been made possible by use of germanium multi-detector arrays. However, the still new information on those excitations is often hard to reach for heavy nuclei (A>200) due to a strong background caused by fission. An observation of properties of such nuclei populated in heavy ion induced...
