The GALILEO γ-ray array at the Legnaro National Laboratories

none84GALILEO, a new 4π high-resolution γ-detection array, based on HPGe detectors, has been developed and installed at the Legnaro National Laboratories. The GALILEO array greatly benefits from a fully-digital read-out chain, customized DAQ, and a variety of complementary detectors to improve the resolving power by the detection of particles, ions or high-energy γ-ray transitions. In this work, a full description of the array, including electronics and DAQ, is presented together with its complementary instrumentation.noneGoasduff A.; Mengoni D.; Recchia F.; Valiente-Dobon J.J.; Menegazzo R.; Benzoni G.; Barrientos D.; Bellato M.; Bez N.; Biasotto M.; Blasi N.; Boiano C.; Boso A.; Bottoni S.; Bracco A.; Brambilla S.; Brugnara D.; Camera F.; Capra S.; Capsoni A.; Cocconi P.; Coelli S.; Cortes M.L.; Crespi F.C.L.; de Angelis G.; Egea F.J.; Fanin C.; Fantinel S.; Gadea A.; Gamba E.R.; Gambalonga A.; Gesmundo C.; Gosta G.; Gottardo A.; Gozzelino A.; Gregor E.T.; Gulmini M.; Ha J.; Hadynska-Klek K.; Illana A.; Isocrate R.; Jaworski G.; John P.R.; Lenzi S.M.; Leoni S.; Lunardi S.; Magalini M.; Marchini N.; Million B.; Modamio V.; Nannini A.; Napoli D.R.; Pasqualato G.; Pellumaj J.; Perez-Vidal R.M.; Pigliapoco S.; Polettini M.; Porzio C.; Pullia A.; Ramina L.; Rampazzo G.; Rampazzo M.; Rebeschini M.; Rezynkina K.; Rocchini M.; Romanato M.; Rosso D.; Saltarelli A.; Scarcioffolo M.; Siciliano M.; Testov D.A.; Tomasella D.; Tomasi F.; Toniolo N.; Ur C.A.; Ventura S.; Veronese F.; Viscione E.; Volpe V.; Wieland O.; Zanon I.; Ziliani S.; Zhang G.; Bazzacco D.Goasduff, A.; Mengoni, D.; Recchia, F.; Valiente-Dobon, J.

Conceptual design of the AGATA 2<math display="inline" id="d1e396" altimg="si24.svg"><mi>π</mi></math> array at LNL

International audienceThe Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) has been installed at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL), Italy. In this installation, AGATA will consist, at the beginning, of 13 AGATA triple clusters (ATCs) with an angular coverage of 1π, and progressively the number of ATCs will increase up to a 2π angular coverage. This setup will exploit both stable and radioactive ion beams delivered by the Tandem–PIAVE-ALPI accelerator complex and the SPES facility. The new implementation of AGATA at LNL will be used in two different configurations, firstly one coupled to the PRISMA large-acceptance magnetic spectrometer and lately a second one at Zero Degrees, along the beam line. These two configurations will allow us to cover a broad physics program, using different reaction mechanisms, such as Coulomb excitation, fusion-evaporation, transfer and fission at energies close to the Coulomb barrier. These setups have been designed to be coupled with a large variety of complementary detectors such as charged particle detectors, neutron detectors, heavy-ion detectors, high-energy γ-ray arrays, cryogenic and gasjet targets and the plunger device for lifetime measurements. We present in this paper the conceptual design, characteristics and performance figures of this implementation of AGATA at LNL
