Following the success of the EURICA (Euroball-RIKEN Cluster Array) experiments, which were carried out from 2012 to 2016, we are now looking ahead to the next phase of decay spectroscopy at RIBF. Currently, a new array is in the planning, composed of 8 Clover detectors from CENS and IMP Lanzhou, along with 16 DEGAS detectors from the HISPEC/DESPEC project of FAIR including GAMMAPOOL germanium capsules. This array will provide enhanced efficiency and open new avenues for research in nuclear structure and astrophysics, using the world’s strongest radioactive ion beams. The array will feature 16 % efficiency at 1 MeV, and it is envisaged that experiments will take place in 2026 and 2027.
The main objective of this meeting is to discuss and develop physics cases for future stopped beam campaigns using WAS3ABI as implantation detector in combination with the new gamma-ray spectrometer. We encourage participants to share experimental ideas with the intention for submission to the RIBF Nuclear Physics Program Advisory Committee (NP-PAC) held late in 2025 and submit an abstract by March 15, 2025. Additional topics for discussion will include the formation and organization of the collaboration and the use of ancillary detectors.
