  1. Detector systems 1) Anti-Compton spectrometers 2) Pair spectrometers 3) Crystal spheres, walls, complex set-ups of semiconductor and scintillation detectors 4) PET chambers Progress of gamma ray measurement: Comparison of measurements by one NaI(Tl) at 1963 and by set-up EUROGAM II (1994), taken from N. Poenaru, N. Greiner: Experimental Techniques in Nuclear Physics PET chamber at „Cyclotron BioMedical de Caen“ WWW pages of this device Photon spectrometer TAPS

  2. Anticompton spectrometer HPGe detector surrounded by scintillation detector (NaI(Tl), BGO) HPGe – high energy resolution Scintillation detector– high detection efficiency of Compton scattered photons Strong suppression of Compton background and escape peaks up to one order Photons after scattering → lower energies → higher probability of photo effect Asymmetrical position of HPGe detector inside NaI(Tl) or BGO detector is advantage Monte Carlo simulation HPGe detector with anticompton BGO shielding ( N. Poenaru, N. Greiner:Experi- mental Techniques in NuclearPhysics Distance in which given fraction of scattered photons is absorbed at BGO

  3. Pair spectrometer HPGe surrounded by scintillator (NaI(Tl), BGO) Coincidence of HPGe and 2 × 511 keV at scintillator Suppression of all, exclude double escape peaks Strong background suppression, possible only for lines with high enough energy → high enough probability of pair production Simple, anticompton and pair spectrum of anticompton spectrometer at NPI ASCR Summation spectrometer Again combination of more detectors – often HPGe and scintillation detectors Sum makes possible to increase intensity of full absorption peak without marked downgrade of energy resolution Spectrometer consisted of HPGe surrounded by scintillation detector can work at anticompton, pair and summation modes Usage of inside geometry of source placement for cascade studies

  4. Crystal spheres for nuclear structure studies Studies of very rare phenomena, high energies of nuclear excitation, high angular momenta, long cascades, superdeformed states, giant resonances, exotic nuclei First generation( eighties) : 6 -21 HPGE detectors with anticompton shielding, BGO set-ups, combination of semiconductor and scintillation detectors TESSA3 (UK), Chateau de Cristal (France), OSIRIS (SRN), NORDBALL (Denmark) Superdeformed band discovery I < 0,01, cascades up to 20 transitions Second generation (nineties): Way to modular, flexible nomad set-ups, work onmore accelerators Efficiency εF, Peak/Compton, resolution ΔE/E influence of Doppler shift – dominates at ΔE/E Usage of semiconductor (HPGE) with BGO shielding (efficiency up to εF = 10 %) ( tenths, hundreds of detectors) Detector set-up EUROGAM II

USA –LBNL, ANL, from 1995 - GAMMASPHERE - 70 -110 HPGe detectors with BGO shielding, 4π geometry Some photos of Set-up GAMMASPHERE real and also presentation at film Hulk WWW pages of experiment Europa – Daresbury, Heidelberg, Darmstadt, ... from 1992 - EUROGAM I, II, EUROBALL III, IV - 2002 Some photos of set-up EUROGAM and EUROBALL WWW pages of experiments

  6. Scintillation „walls“ for high energy physics Detection of electromagnetic showers – identification of high energy photons Heidelberg/Darmstadt – 162 NaI(Tl) , SLAC-DESY – 672 NaI(Tl) elmg calorimeters CLEO II 8000 CsI(Tl) detectors – usage of silicon photodiods -Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR) 1991 - TAPS 384 BaF2 detectors Crystals of CsI(Tl) - spectrometer CLEO II Crystal length 250 mm, diameter 59 mm • Thin plastic detector – identification of charged particles • Time of flight – separation of fast particles • Pulse shape analysis (BaF2 has two components of light emission) Detection of photons from hundreds keV up to tenth GeV produced directly or by decay of particles (π0, η, ω, φ) TAPS worked at GSI Darmstadt, KVI Groningen, GANIL Caen, CERN, MAMI Mainz, Bon Block ofBaF2 crystals - spectrometer TAPS
