Abstract

The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a next generation high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer for nuclear structure studies based on the principle of gamma-ray tracking. It is built from high-fold segmented germanium detectors which will operate in position-sensitive mode by employing digital electronics and pulse-shape decomposition algorithms. The unique combination of highest detection efficiency and position sensitivity allows spectroscopic studies with instable ion beams of lowest intensity. The first implementation of the array consisted of five AGATA modules; it was operated at INFN Legnaro. A larger array of AGATA modules was used at GSI for experiments with unstable ion beams at relativistic energies. At the moment the spectrometer is hosted by GANIL. In the near future AGATA will be employed at the leading infrastructures for nuclear structure studies in Europe. The presentation will illustrate the potential of the novel gamma-ray tracking method by physics cases from the different exploitation sites. Perspectives and opportunities for gamma-ray spectroscopy at future radioactive ion beam facilities are presented and discussed.
