30. Summary • The PRISMA+CLARA setup, consisting of the magnetic spectrometer PRISMA coupled to an array of 25 EUROBALL Clover detectors, has started its 4th year of operation at LNL. • In a single, few-days experiment ~ 50 nuclei can be studied, and resullts show that experiments with stable beams and instruments like PRISMA+CLARA can contribute to the study of moderately n-rich nuclei. • A new array (DANTE) of position sensitive detectors has been commissioned to allow g-g-DANTE coincidences to build the level scheme once the transitions are assigned. • New instrumentation development foreseen for in-beam commissioning at LNL in the next months, mostly within the JRAs of EURONS.
