Description

A high resolution γ-ray spectroscopy will be employed to investigate the nucleus far away from the line of stability. The drip line nuclei are produced by Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) through a suitable nuclear reaction. Such nuclei have production cross sections down to hundreds of nano barns. Their detection is greatly influenced by large atomic background with a production cross section of few kilo barn. Currently there are two major ongoing projects namely AGATA array in Europe and GRETINA array in USA which are under development to enhance the overall detection efficiency. These arrays will use highly segmented composite germanium detectors which will be based on PSA and Compton kinematics. PSA can be used to find out the position of interaction inside the germanium volume. Once the γ-ray position is found out then the whole gamma ray trajectory can be reconstructed using gamma ray tracking algorithms
