  1. AGATA Performance Commissioning@ PRESPEC AGATA Commissioning WG

  2. Demonstratethe performance of AGATA in a RIB facility at relativisticbeamenergies. Experimentally determine typicalbackgroundlevels, P/N-ratios and detectionsensitivityforCoulex and fragmentationexperiments. Optimisebackgroundconditionsiffeasible. Obtainfirst data-set fortheoptimisation of Pulse-ShapeAnalysis and Gamma-Ray Tracking algorithms(new conditions at the GSI environment). Aim of the AGATA performance commissioning

  15. Up to A<90 (tokeepgood A resolution in LYCCA) • Eg in typicalCoulex/Fragmentationenergyrangei.e. 400keV-1.5 MeV • Large B(E2) in ordertooptimisebeam-time • Lifetime of thelevelabove 4 ps (todecayafterthe target) • Stablebeam (tofacilitate FRS start-up, etc) Beamcandidates (fromnndcdatabase) s ~ B(E2h)xZ2

  16. Simultaneous Coulomb excitation of the Au-target atoms online inspection of the ARRAY performance (notDopplershifted). Concomitantaspects • Ensure (online, butaftersomehoursduetothelowyield) thatparticle-gamma coincidences are workingproperly. • Allowsto determine Peak/Total-ratio and backgroundlevelforthe RAW spectrum, althoughtheseparameters are actuallyrelevant in theDopplerCorrectedspectrum.

Simultaneous Coulomb excitation of the Au-target atoms online inspection of the ARRAY performance (notDopplershifted). • Secondaryfragmentationreactions in Au-target  same P/N-studyforfragmentationreactions, e.g.54Cr 50,52Cr, 50,52V, etc. Concomitantaspects • Secondaryfragmentationorparticleknockout Au Target 500 mg/cm2 FRS: RIB RIB: LYCCA (Z,A) (Z,A-2) (Z,A-2)*

  19. The plan istoperforman “easy” Coulomb excitationexperiment in orderto determine experimentallythedetectionsensitivity of the AGATA arrayunder real experimental conditions at GSI, as well as Peak/Noise ratio in the gamma-rayenergyrangearound 1 MeV. Thestatistics/crystalshouldbelargeenoughtooptimise and tostudythe performance of PSA and Tracking algorithms. • Thisbenchmark-measurementwillbeperformed at thetwo “extreme” configurations of high-resolution (d=23.5cm) and high-efficiency (d=8.5cm). Twolongruns. • Simultaneouslyweshouldbeabletosee Coulomb excitationfromtheGold target (no Doppler-shift), whichallowsonetoconfirm online thatparticle-gamma correlationsare madeproperly. • At thesame time, selectingknockoutchannelsvia LYCCA we can studyalsotheseaspectsforsecondaryfragmentationexperiments. • Further ideas are welcome.
