Performance of GRETINA for in-beam spectroscopy at NSCL

ORAL

Abstract

In early summer 2012, the Gamma-Ray Energy TRAcking In-beam Nuclear Array GRETINA was installed in front of the S800 Magnetic Spectrograph for in-flight gamma-ray spectroscopy campaign with fast beams of rare isotopes. In this type of experiments rare-isotopes beams provided by the Coupled Cyclotron Facility of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSLC) are delivered onto a reaction target placed at the center of GRETINA. Reaction residues are detected in the spectrograph in coincidence with gamma rays in GRETINA. The high spatial resolution of GRETINA allows for accurate Doppler-shift reconstruction, while GRETINA's tracking capability provides gamma-ray data of high spectral quality. The performance of this powerful setup will be summarized.
