The Liverpool group also plays a
leading role in the development of new instrumentation, an example being
the EUROBALL gamma-ray spectrometer.
It is currently engaged in major EPSRC
and EU-funded projects such as the segmented clover gamma-ray array
EXOGAM, which will be used for investigations
of exotic nuclei via gamma-ray spectroscopy at the new radioactive ion beam
facility SPIRAL
at GANIL in Caen, (France) and the GREAT implantation-decay detection
system, designed to measure all radiation emitted from nuclei, e.g. beta and
alpha particles, protons, electrons, X and gamma-rays, after implantation
at the focal plane of an electromagnetic separator such as RITU at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland).
