Introduction to EXOGAM
EXOGAM - The EXOtic GAMma-ray spectrometer is a an array
of 16 High Purity Germanium detectors designed to provide the maximum
possible detection efficiency for experiments utilising radioactive ion
beams.
The EXOGAM project is a European collaboration with
capital funding provided by research councils in France, the UK, Finland and
Sweden.
The picture (right) shows a picture of the EXOGAM array
with two Escape Suppressed Clover detectors mounted in the EXOGAM frame. The
NBI target chamber is also visible. The design of the frame and the
suppression shields allow the detectors to be mounted at three different
detector to target distances, allowing the spectrum quality to be optimised
for different experimental conditions.
