Description
We propose to conduct an experiment aimed at assessing the performance of AGATA at energy levels of up to 4.8 MeV. Investigating AGATA’s response to highly energetic gamma rays, specifi- cally focusing on efficiency, resolution, and the performance of the tracking algorithm, is a matter of considerable interest within the scientific community. However, such an evaluation has not yet been undertaken. The measurements outlined in this Letter of Intent will be executed in collabora- tion with the utilization of standard, long-lived radiation sources readily available at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL). These sources include 241Am, 133Ba, 152Eu, 60Co, and 226Ra. Addi- tionally, we plan to procure a short-lived source of 56Co specifically for this experiment.
