Physics opportunities with the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array: AGATA

Abstract: New physics opportunities are opening up by the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array, AGATA, as it evolves to the full 4π instrument. AGATA is a high-resolution γ-ray spectrometer, solely built from highly segmented high-purity Ge detectors, capable of measuring γ rays from a few tens of keV to beyond 10 MeV, with unprecedented efficiency, excellent position resolution for individual γ-ray interactions, and very high count-rate capability. As a travelling detector AGATA will be employed at all major current and near-… Show more

“…However, a corresponding experiment will be challenging due to counteracting limitations of the required excitation energy and angular momentum versus finite absolute and sufficient relative production cross section to populate and observe 62 Ga at such high-lying entry states. A properly designed experiment with the next generation of γ -ray tracking arrays will be capable of handling the task [50,51].…”

“…In recent years, some major advancements in the spectroscopic techniques has made it feasible to populate the high-spin band structures in atomic nuclei to the extremes of angular-momentum, excitation energy and isospin [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In some nuclei, the high-spin states have been studied up to angular momentum, I ≈ 60h and as many as twenty side bands have been identified [9][10][11][12]14].…”
