〔http://www-w2k.gsi.de/agata/overview.htm〕Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a highly developed detector system to track gamma rays. It is a European collaboration project funded by twelve countries in Europe. The project was proposed in 2001 and in 2002 it was signed by the participant countries; in 2005 the first detector showed its result. It is expected that the complete AGATA array will be ready within 2018. The spectrometer is 4π gamma-ray detector which is a combination of several Germanium detectors (Ge-detector). It is a major instrument to study nuclear structure ray tracking by measuring the γ-radiation. AGATA will have very good full energy peak efficiency with high peak-to-total ratio (P/T) and angular resolution. The system will be capable of high event rates with ancillary detectors to measure light charged particles or neutron. ==Gamma-Ray Tracking== Correlating and constructing the multiple interactions of a single γ-ray in a segmented detector is the main technique of γ-ray tracking. The new generation of 4π Ge detectors has been developed to significantly improve the efficiency and resolving power of γ-ray spectroscopy. The tracks of the γ-rays in the Ge-detector can be constructed in 3D. A detector used for this purpose consists of: *High-fold segmented Ge detectors. *Digital signal processing electronics. *Pulse-Shape analysis algorithms for real time applications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AGATA (gamma-ray detector)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
