EGAN 2012 Workshop

25 juin 2012, 08:45 → 28 juin 2012, 13:00 Europe/Paris

The European Gamma and Ancillary Detectors Network (EGAN) in the framework of ENSAR (FP7) is a network aimed at the mutual coordination between the research groups involved in high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy to optimize the use of the valuable resources at the different infrastructures and to enhance synergies among researchers on a broad European scale, to ensure the sharing, design, construction and maintenance of detectors and associated equipment in a coordinated approach. After the first EGAN workshop held in Padova in June 2011, the second edition will focus more on the ancillary aspect of gamma-ray spectroscopy research.
