“…A 477 MBq 137 Cs source is encapsulated in a stainless steel cylindrical container with a diameter of 4 mm, a height of 6 mm and window thickness of 0.4 mm. This container is inserted into a collimator made of densimet (W-Ni-Fe alloy, density 18.5 g/cm 3 ). The γ rays emitted by the source are collimated by a hole with a diameter of 1.6 mm and a length of 155 mm.…”

“…Although the escapesuppression technique significantly improves the peakto-total ratio in γ-ray spectra, it limits the solid angle occupied by the germanium detectors and therefore the efficiency of the γ-ray detection system. This detection technique culminated with the design and construction of the EUROBALL [3,4] and GAMMASPHERE [5] spectrometers in Europe and in the USA, respectively. This contributed in a significant way to the impressive progress made in nuclear structure research since then.…”

The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a European project to develop and operate the next generation γ-ray spectrometer. AGATA is based on the technique of γ-ray energy tracking in electrically segmented high-purity germanium crystals. This technique requires the accurate determination of the energy, time and position of every interaction as a γ ray deposits its energy within the detector volume. Reconstruction of the full interaction path results in a detector with very high efficiency and excellent spectral response. The realization of γ-ray tracking and AGATA is a result of many technical advances. These include the development of encapsulated highly-segmented germanium detectors assembled in a triple cluster detector cryostat, an electronics system with fast digital sampling and a data acquisition system to process the data at a high rate. The full characterization of the crystals was measured and compared with detector-response simulations. This enabled pulse-shape analysis algorithms, to extract energy, time and position, to be employed. In addition, tracking algorithms for event reconstruction were developed. The first phase of AGATA is now complete and operational in its first physics campaign. In the future AGATA will be moved between laboratories in Europe and operated in a series of campaigns to take advantage of the different beams and facilities available to maximize its science output. The paper reviews all the achievements made in the AGATA project including all the necessary infrastructure to operate and support the spectrometer.

“…Gamma ray spectroscopy is a tool used in nuclear physics research which has permitted the gathering of great quantities of information about excited nuclear states over previous decades. With the development of high efficiency Germanium spectrometers such as EUROGAM, EUROBALL and GAMMASPHERE [1][2][3][4], highly detailed coincidence spectroscopy has been performed over a wide range of atomic nuclei, allowing detection of transitions as weak as 10 −5 [1][2][3][4] of the total reaction cross section. Information on spins and parities of these excited states can also be deduced with pure Germanium detector arrays using measurement techniques such as -rays angular distributions, angular correlations and polarizations.…”
