Status of the AGATA Project

and profile of the Spanish

contribution A. Gadea IFIC, CSIC-Univ. Valencia

(AGATA Project Manager)180 Ge crystals, 6660 high-resolution digital channels, PSA + tracking

Probably the most challenging project in the Nuclear Structure community

Unique in Europe, Physics driven /3 already measuring

For the EUROPEAN RIB facilities NUSTAR, SPIRAL2, SPES, …

TDR ready since 2008 (after R&D phase), part of NUSTAR/FAIR project

PSA code and TRACKING: working! experiments not been limited. Presently segments treated as with one interaction.

Space for improvement :the main factors is the detector responseCharacterization and new data bases required Scanning table newly design based in F.Crespi (INFN-Milano) work.

Contribution of LRI – Uni. Salamanca and supported from IFIC

Investment in a test cryostat (UAM) knowledge on installation of capsules in a cryostat will be transferred

The Highly Segmented Ge-detector: developed by Canberra-France for AGATA. Encapsulation technique from EUROBALL

The Cryostat technology know-how and detector characterization techniques: open knowlege for all the collaboration
