Stopárov sprievodca AGATAou: od signálov k jadrovej štruktúre

Abstract:
Gamma rays emitted by excited nuclei provide a window into their structure. The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) combines highly segmented HPGe detectors, pulse-shape analysis and gamma-ray tracking to reconstruct photon interaction sequences, enabling precise spectroscopy of moving nuclei. This seminar will introduce the principles and core features of AGATA and present an overview of its experimental campaign at INFN Legnaro National Laboratories. Selected examples will illustrate how AGATA, coupled to complementary detectors, open new avenues of probing nuclear structure. With Slovakia joining the AGATA collaboration, the seminar will also highlight opportunities for participation in physics research and detector and electronics development. New collaborators interested in contributing to these activities are warmly welcome.
