Description

In this talk, the current status of the FATIMA array will be presented. Recent highlights from experiments performed at GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research will be discussed, demonstrating the performance of the array under in-beam conditions. Ongoing efforts to upgrade the array, including developments in the data acquisition system and detector technology, will be outlined. Future planned experiments involving FATIMA as part of the IDATEN array will also be presented. Finally, several ideas for further applications and developments of the array will be discussed.
