Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>
As you may have heard, we are installing the new GRIFFIN (Gamma-Ray
Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei) facility
for radioactive decay spectroscopy of stopped ISOL beams produced by
the TRIUMF-ISAC facility. GRIFFIN consists of an array of 16 HPGe
clover detectors for gamma-ray detection coupled with a suite of
ancillary detection systems and a custom-designed digital DAQ
system.
<br>
<br>
For more details of the GRIFFIN facility and ancillary detector
systems see
<a href="http://www.triumf.ca/griffin">www.triumf.ca/griffin</a>.<br>
<br>
It is anticipated that GRIFFIN will perform initial experiments in
the period September to December 2014 using 12 clovers. The array
will be extended to the full 16 clovers and the facility coupled
with neutron-detector arrays in 2015.
<br>
<br>
If you would like to join the GRIFFIN collaboration please sign up
for the mailing list at <a
href="http://lists.triumf.ca/mailman/listinfo/griffin-collaboration">
http://lists.triumf.ca/mailman/listinfo/griffin-collaboration</a>.
This mailing list will be used to announce collaboration meetings,
calls for proposals, calls for beam time requests, and other GRIFFIN
related news.
<br>
<br>
Best regards
<br>
Adam Garnsworthy
<br>
Spokesperson for the GRIFFIN Collaboration
