The nucleus is a unique, strongly interacting many-body system. There are many techniques and reactions to study different features of the nucleus which all rely on the detection of charged particles or gamma-rays. Each major technical advance in detection devices has resulted in significant new insights into nuclear science. As the systems evolve more exotic features of the nucleus can be...

Oral Presentation
The NUSTAR experiments in program FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) that are developed now in GSI require unique spectrometers for heavy ions which energy is ranged starting from hundred keV up to hundreds MeV. The spectrometers are constructed on the basis of silicon double sided detectors which must provide the energy and the hit point position.
The double sided detectors for...

Oral Presentation
The Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) project is a pan-European collaboration whose aim is the construction of a next-generation gamma-ray spectrometer for use in nuclear structure studies. The final array will consist of 180 (coaxial) HPGe crystals arranged in a spherical honeycomb geometry. Utilising the technique of gamma-ray tracking, the array will significantly improve upon the...

Oral Presentation
The AGATA (Advanced Gamma Ray Tracking Array) physics campaign commenced in February 2010 and there is an emphasis on effective methodologies for the analysis of in-beam data. In order to realise the AGATA demonstrator a number of commissioning experiments have been performed. Analysis of a commissioning experiment using two AGATA triple clusters coupled to ancillary detectors will be...

Oral Presentation
By comparing the pulse shapes, using pulse shape analysis (PSA), the interaction positions within a position sensitive HPGe crystal can be accurately located. Compton Image Reconstruction can be used to create an image testing the accuracy of the ability to locate the positions of scatter and absorption events, through PSA. The more accurately the points of interaction are known the better the...
