Description
Gamma spectroscopy is a fundamental tool for the investigation of nuclear structure. Since the end of the EUROBALL deployment, very specialized large arrays as well as compact arrays optimized for the first generation of radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities, have been extensively used by the Nuclear Physics community. Examples of former arrays are JUROGAM [1] and JUROGAM II coupled to RITU at JYFL, CLARA [2] coupled to PRISMA at INFN-LNL and RISING [3] installed at the focal plane of the Fragment Separator at GSI, while examples of the latter are EXOGAM [4], installed at GANIL and MINIBALL [5] at REX-ISOLDE.
Presently, Nuclear Physics is entering a new era with the construction of second generation RIB facilities as the in-flight FAIR-NUSTAR and the ISOL SPIRAL2 and SPES. The response of the gamma spectroscopy community to this challenge is being the construction of the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) [6] with superior sensibility and counting rate capabilities. In addition a number of the last generation compact gamma-arrays is being upgraded, improving again sensibility and rate capabilities, to cope with the necessities of a community with high demand of instrumental availability. Moreover, R&D is ongoing for a high-resolution spectroscopy array for decay spectroscopy after implantation in relativistic in-flight facilities.
Since long time it is well known that complementary instrumentation is of paramount importance to improve the sensibility of the large gamma-arrays as well as for particular type of experiments as lifetime measurements, or for the selection of the reaction channels. An overview of complementary
