Presentation of the goals of the workshop and the program. Summary of the performed experiments and devices used during the campaign. Comparison with the previous campaign nuBall1.

1. The nuBall2 project (remote)

Dr Gabriel Charles (IJCLab)

03/07/2024 14:40

NuBall2 experiment was installed at the ALTO facility at IJCLab, Orsay, France. It took data between April 2022 and May 2023. This presentation will give an overview of the life of the detectors between their reception up until all the NuBall2 equipment was removed from the beamline. It will be a good opportunity to list the different equipment that were able to run within NuBall2 as well as...

2. FASTER New features and prospects

David Etasse (LPC Caen)

03/07/2024 15:05

FASTER is a new digital modular acquisition system developed at LPC, this contribution will focus on the new features of the current version FASTERV2 and on the main characteristics and the initial results of the new version FASTERV3.

3. The LICORNE inverse kinematic neutron source: Development and perspectives

Dr Jonathan Wilson (IJC Lab, Orsay, France)

03/07/2024 15:30

The LICORNE directional neutron source has been developed and improved over the last ten years at the ALTO facility of IJC Lab. In particular the spectroscopy of neutron-induced reactions has been facilitated with these developments, leading to coupling with the nu-Ball1 and nu-Ball2 spectrometers and several successful experiments/publications. In this presentation I will review the neutron...

4. FATIMA: a versatile tool for nuclear physics studies

Dr Sorin Pascu

03/07/2024 16:25

In this talk I will introduce the fast-timing measurement method. Following, I will give some examples of measurements done with FATIMA over the years. I will also show some lifetime measurements, which is the main reason for the conception of such array, as well as some other results obtained for astrophysical purposes.

5. PARIS array - status of the project and performance in the nuBall3 campaign

Adam Maj (IFJ PAN)

03/07/2024 16:50

I plan to present the idea behind the PARIS project, its status and outlook. In addition I try to summarize the performance of the PARIS wall geometry used in the nuBall2 campaign.

6. The Warsaw SiLCA array - status and perspectives

Dr Kasia Hadynska-Klek (Heavy Ion Laboratory University of Warsaw)

03/07/2024 17:15

The SiLCA reaction chamber was designed and developed at the HIL Warsaw to place a DSSD array in the backward scattering angles primarily for the Coulomb excitation studies, with the possibility of using it in different reactions, and with a future perspective of adding more detectors at other angles. It was first commissioned with the Nuball2+PARIS array in December 2022. In the period of...
