Description

The EAGLE array (European Array for Gamma Levels Evaluations) [1] is a multi-configuration detector setup for in-beam nuclear spectroscopy studies at the Heavy Ion Laboratory (HIL) of the University of Warsaw. It can accommodate up to 30 Compton-suppressed HPGe detectors.

Building on this foundation, a new campaign, FLASH (Fast-Timing LaBr$_3$ Array for Spectroscopy at HIL), is planned to expand the experimental capabilities of the EAGLE array. By incorporating up to 15 LaBr$_3$(Ce) detectors, the setup will enable advanced fast-timing measurements, opening a possibility for precise lifetime measurements of excited nuclear states.

The present status of development of the enhanced experimental setup will be reported along with the planned timeline for installation and strategies to mitigate issues such as Compton scattering, which posed challenges during the previous attempt. Additionally, the collaborative efforts with other research groups and their experimental ideas will be highlighted.
