“…Two detector arrays were constructed at ELI-NP for such studies. The ELI-NP Array of Ge DEtectors (ELIADE) [11,12] is a dedicated detector system for NFR experiments with quasimonochromatic γ beams. It is composed of eight segmented HPGe Clover detectors, placed in the horizontal and vertical planes with respect to the beam axis, organized in two rings, at 90 0 and 135 0 , correspondingly.…”

“…This is demonstrated best in the synthesis of some proton-rich nuclei heavier than iron via the astrophysical p-process, where (γ,n), (γ,p) and (γ,α) reactions are one of the driving forces [17]. Another example, which underlines the importance of photonuclear reaction studies in astrophysics is related to studies of time-reverse reactions, such as, e.g., 16 O(γ,α) 12 C reaction. In this experiment, due to the low reaction cross section close to the Gamow window, a time projection chamber (TPC), with optical readout, i.e., an active target, was used [18].…”

An overview of the main directions of present-day studies with quasimonochromatic γ beams is discussed with an emphasis on the research opportunities which will be offered at the Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility at Magurele near Bucharest in Romania. Experiments with γ beams at the extremes of high temperatures are outlined, with an emphasis on prospective studies related to nuclear astrophysics and astroparticle physics. Some of the experimental setups for nuclear structure, reaction, and astrophysics studies, which are available at ELI-NP, are described.

An overview of the main directions of present-day studies with quasimonochromatic γ beams are discussed with an emphasis on the research opportunities which will be offered at the Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility at Magurele near Bucharest in Romania. Experiments with γ beams at the extremes of high temperature and high neutron-to-proton ratios are outlined. Some of the experimental setups for nuclear structure, reaction and astrophysics studies, which are available at ELI-NP, are described. Perspectives for studies of exotic nuclei within the Gamma Factory experiment at CERN are discussed. The expected fission-fragment yields at the Gamma Factory are presented. The perspectives for nuclear structure studies with γ rays with orbital angular momentum are outlined.

“…Therefore, in order to restore these characteristics back to their optimal values, HPGe detectors need to be annealed through a controlled heating process for a specific duration of time, all the while maintaining a high degree of vacuum inside the detectors throughout both the heating and cooling (back to room temperature) cycles of the crystals therein. To this end, we have set up a dedicated annealing station at Extreme Light Infrastructure -Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) [4,5] for the annealing of the HPGe segmented clover detectors (4 × 60 × 90 SEG32 type [6,7]) of the ELI-NP Array of DEtectors (ELIADE) 𝛾-ray spectrometer [8][9][10][11]. ELIADE represents a state-of-the-art, multi-detector 𝛾-ray spectrometer dedicated to nuclear physics research utilizing the Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) technique [12][13][14], also employed by the gamma-beam industrial applications [15] team at ELI-NP researching industrial radiography and tomography.…”

We report a dedicated setup built in-house for the annealing of the HPGe clover detectors of the ELI-NP Array of DEtectors (ELIADE) γ-ray spectrometer, as well as the post-annealing testing of these detectors with the standard 60Co & 152Eu radioactive calibration sources employing conventional analog electronics. Both the design and assembly of the annealing setup were performed at the Extreme Light Infrastructure — Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility, Măgurele, Romania. A `radiation damage annealing assembly kit' (NRK-200 unit) from the detector manufacturer Canberra is utilized in heating and controlling the temperature of the Ge crystals of the annealed detector. The vacuum inside the detector was maintained throughout the annealing process by constantly pumping the system using a turbo-molecular pumping station. The temperature of the germanium crystals, located inside a vacuum sealed chamber, of the detector and the vacuum level of this chamber were monitored throughout the annealing process, via both in-person observation and remote (online) monitoring. The Graphic User Interface (GUI) of an underlying LabVIEW script was utilized for running the monitoring process of the temperature and vacuum pressure values via a local network. To have the option of real-time online monitoring of the temperature, vacuum pressure, we coupled the web application Grafana with the Influx DB of the annealing data, as well as the backup time information of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit used in system.
