In-beam experiment with Hyperball2 • Advantages • Large total photo peak efficiency (g-g-g coincidence) • Transistor reset type (high counting rate→ high intensity beam) • BGO as a multiplicity filter (12x6+6x14=156 elements) • Clover detector as Compton polarimeter • Disadvantages • Few angles (detectors placed mostly around 90º) → lower angular correlation sensitivity
