2WKB.00001: Gammasphere Scientific Campaign: Recent Highlights and Future Opportunities Invited Speaker: Shaofei Zhu Gammasphere continues to be the most powerful device in the world for the study of nuclear properties through gamma-ray spectroscopy techniques. The following recent results will be presented. Shell evolution in neutron-rich nuclei in the Z = 20-28 and N = 28-50 region; Properties of neutron-rich nuclei near doubly-magic 132Sn and 208Pb; Gamma spectroscopic studies with CARIBU beams; Properties of K-isomers in neutron-rich rare-earth nuclei and Status of recoil-decay tagging studies coupling Gammasphere with FMA and AGFA. |

2WKB.00002: Gamma-ray spectroscopy with rare-isotope beams at TRIUMF-ISAC Invited Speaker: Adam Garnsworthy The GRIFFIN and TIGRESS spectrometers at TRIUMF-ISAC provide unique opportunities in decay and reaction studies with rare-isotope beams. These HPGe arrays of 16 Compton-suppressed clovers each are complimented with powerful suites of ancillary detector sub-systems for coincidence measurements and channel selection. Complimentary studies can be performed to investigate nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and perform tests of fundamental symmetries. An overview of the capabilities of the facilities will be given, along with a discussion of recent results with a focused on tests of ab initio theories in light nuclei and shape coexistence phenomena. |
Tuesday, October 23, 2018 5:00PM - 5:30PM |
2WKB.00003: GRETINA and GRETA Invited Speaker: Paul Fallon The gamma-ray energy tracking array GRETINA has been successfully operating since 2012, with science campaigns at both Michigan State University’s National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory and at Argonne National Laboratory’s ATLAS/CARIBU Facility. I will review selected science highlights from these campaigns and discuss the ongoing project to construct the full 4-pi GRETA array, which will be a key instrument for rare isotope experiments at the future FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams) under construction at Michigan State University. |
