First Results from GRETINA at NSCL

Kathrin Wimmer (Central Michigan University)

GRETINA, the next generation gamma-ray spectrometer, is currently running its first physics campaign at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The GRETINA array is the first critical step towards a full 4pi GRETA device. Its high angular and energy resolution provide the necessary position resolution for Doppler correction at intermediate beam energies and allow for the rejection of Compton scattering events to reduce the background. Since Spring 2012 GRETINA has been coupled to the S800 magnetic spectrograph at NSCL. The physics program includes a wide range of topics in nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics. The combination of intense rare isotope beams and state-of-the-art detection devices allows for spectroscopic studies of exotic nuclei far from stability. In this talk I will present an overview of the GRETINA physics program at NSCL and report on first results from experiments studying nuclei across the nuclear chart.
