Advancements in Nuclear Structure Research - AGATA Project Overview

The AGATA Project led by A. Gadea at IFIC, CSIC-Univ. Valencia, is a pioneering endeavor in Europe's Nuclear Structure community, featuring innovative Ge crystal detectors and sophisticated tracking technologies. The project has enabled high-resolution experiments at EUROPEAN RIB facilities and NUSTAR/FAIR. The collaborative effort involves cutting-edge detector modules, PSA, tracking systems, and ongoing enhancements for optimal detector response. Through strategic investments and partnerships, the AGATA Project is pushing the boundaries of Nuclear Structure research, fostering collaborations across institutions and advancing scientific knowledge.

  1. Status of the AGATA Projectand profile of the Spanish contribution A. Gadea IFIC, CSIC-Univ. Valencia(AGATA Project Manager) 180 Ge crystals, 6660 high-resolution digital channels, PSA + tracking Probably the most challenging project in the Nuclear Structure community Unique in Europe, Physics driven  p/3 already measuring For the EUROPEAN RIB facilities NUSTAR, SPIRAL2, SPES, … TDR ready since 2008 (after R&D phase), part of NUSTAR/FAIR project

  2. Detector Module, PSA and Tracking The Highly Segmented Ge-detector: developed by Canberra-France for AGATA. Encapsulation technique from EUROBALL The Cryostat technology know-how and detector characterization techniques: open knowlege for all the collaboration July 2010  corrected PSA code and TRACKING: working! experiments not been limited. Presently segments treated as with one interaction. Space for improvement : the main factors is the detector response Characterization and new data bases required  Scanning table newly design based in F.Crespi (INFN-Milano) work. SGr=15mm Contribution of LRI – Uni. Salamanca and supported from IFIC Investment in a test cryostat (UAM)  knowledge on installation of capsules in a cryostat will be transferred
