The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array is a next generation high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer for nuclear structure studies based on the novel principle of gamma-ray tracking. It is built from a novel type of high-fold segmented germanium detectors which will operate in position-sensitive mode by employing digital electronics and pulse-shape decomposition algorithms. The unique combination of...

Active targets are gaseous time-projection chambers designed for reaction and decay studies with nuclei far from stability. In reaction studies, the nuclei of the detection gas are also the targets of the reaction of interest, allowing for a large target thickness without compromising on energy resolution. This class of instruments, initially developed for high-energy physics, has found...

The TRIGA-SPEC experiment [1] at the research reactor TRIGA Mainz consists of a Penning-trap experiment for mass measurement (TRIGA-TRAP) and a collinear laser spectroscopy setup (TRIGA-LASER). These setups are the prototypes for the MATS- and the LASPEC-Experiments at FAIR [2] and are also used for technical developments to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the techniques. For...

A novel technique to measure weak electron capture branching ratios (ECBRs) in a set of odd-odd nuclei involved in double beta decay (ββ) using ion traps has been developed at TRIUMF, Canada’s National Laboratory for Nuclear and Particle Physics located in Vancouver, Canada. The aim of this program is to extract the nuclear matrix elements (NME) involved in the EC process, and benchmark the...
