DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Giuseppe Verde (INFN\, Sezione di Catania)\nCorrelat
 ions between two or more particles emitted during a nuclear reaction provi
 de tools to study time properties of the reaction and can be used as well 
 to explore spectroscopic properties of exotic clusters. With the aim of st
 udying two- and multi-particle correlation functions the FARCOS project (F
 emtoscope ARray for COrrelations and Spectroscopy) has been conceived as a
 n array of double sided silicon strip detectors and CsI(Tl) crystals chara
 cterized by high angular and energy resolution. The array will address top
 ics covering both nuclear dynamics and spectroscopy with stable and radioa
 ctive beams. \nThe array will address the study of correlation measurement
 s in nuclear dynamics with the use of high resolution imaging techniques p
 roviding sort of “space-time” snapshots of particle and complex fragme
 nts emitting sources. These “space-time images” will be shown to probe
  the N/Z degree of freedom in nuclear reactions\, providing important prob
 es of the sub-saturation density dependence of symmetry energy.\nIn the ve
 ry same collision events\, several exotic nuclear fragments are produced. 
 Most of them are unbound and can be studied by means of two- and multi-par
 ticle coincidence measurements. These measurements reveal the existence of
  resonances and provide important spectroscopic information on the explore
 d unbound states such as their spin and their branching ratios with respec
 t to specific and new decay channels. \nThe high resolution that is planne
 d to be available with the Farcos array will allow performing important st
 udies of exotic decay channels by means of the complete reconstruction of 
 their final momentum vectors. These studies can also provide important inf
 ormation about the formation and decay of special cluster states in stable
  and exotic nuclei. Examples of applications in the decay of unbound state
 s in 10C\, 12C and other light nuclei will be shown and the perspectives o
 ffered by Farcos will be stressed. \nAn important aspect of Farcos will be
  represented by its pulse-shaping capabilities that will allow the detecti
 on and identification of particles and fragments moving at low energies an
 d stopped in the first layer of the silicon strip detector. These pulse-sh
 ape techniques will be of fundamental importance in order to study particl
 e correlations even in low energy reactions. The electronics under develop
 ment will play a special attention to new technologies in generic and inte
 grated electronics. \nThe modularity of FARCOS will allow coupling it to o
 ther devices such as 4π detectors and magnetic spectrometers. The possibi
 lity of coupling to neutron detector arrays to perform high resolution pro
 ton-neutron correlation measurements is also under consideration. \nThe Fa
 rcos project aims at providing important perspectives for studies at the f
 uture European radioactive beams facilities such as Spiral2\, Spes and Eur
 isol\, both in the field of nuclear dynamics and spectroscopy.\n\nhttps://
