Description
GRETINA is a first implementation of a gamma-ray spectrometer which
is capable of tracking gamma-rays through its active detector volume.
It consists of seven, four-crystal modules (6x6 segments). Each crystal is
individually encapsulated with all four crystals sharing a common cryostat.
The irregular, tapered hexagonal crystals pack into a spherical shell with the
seven modules spanning 1π solid angle.
GRETINA was constructed and commissioned at LBNL. It completed its first
physics campaign at NSCL/MSU in July of 2013 and is now running at ATLAS/ANL.
We will give a short overview of the project, and discuss some technical aspects
and the performance of the array.
Highlights from the experimental program carried out at NSCL, and some initial results
from the ATLAS campaign will be presented.
Future plans for GRETINA will also be discussed.
