1. EXOGAM physics case and design specs
• Array for small and medium -ray
multiplicity
• 20% efficiency @ 1.3 MeV
• Anti-Compton shield
• 16 segmented HPGe detectors
• Modularity
• Coupling with other detectors
UK – France – Finland – Denmark – Hungary – Sweden – Germany
40% - 40% - 20%
• Physics case: -ray spectroscopy of
exotic nuclei using the exotic
radioactive beams from SPIRAL
Use of EXOGAM
•SPIRAL1 beams (6,8
He; 76
Kr; 24,26
Ne; 44
Ar) (VAMOS, TIARA, MUST, NWall)
•RIBs from fragmentation (LISE, SPEG, VAMOS)
•SIBs from CSS1or CIME (VAMOS, Nwall, DIAMANT)
•All kind of reaction mechanisms (f.e.; transfer; knock-out; DIC; Coulex; decay
studies;…)
•v/c: 0 to 30%
•beam intensity: ~105
– ~1010
pps
Original design specs cannot cope
In addition:
•~40% of approved experiments request EXOGAM
•Maintenance problems (normal maintenance and aging). Critical: Ortec,
VXI electronics
Heavy use and maintenance problems
•LINAG beams
•SPIRAL2 beams
Use of EXOGAM in the future
New physics case and additional constraints
•Much larger intensities (SIBs and RIBs)
•Harder environment: Rutherford, beam halo, beam
dump,…
Need for an upgrade
The physics case at LINAG/SPIRAL2 (CS July 2007)
•Spectroscopy of N~Z nuclei:
–Self-conjugate systems and isospin symmetry
–Structure around 100
Sn
–T=0 pairing
–Spectroscopy beyond the p-drip line
•Spectroscopy of n-rich nuclei populated in DIC and inverse kinematics:
–Structure around closed shells
•Shapes and deformations:
–Shape coexistence; shape isomers
–Exotic deformations
–Role of hyper intrudal (N+3) in N~120 region
•Spectroscopy of heavy elements (No, Rf,..):
–s.p. orbitals and their role
–Collectivity of nuclei around islands of deformation (~ 254
No, 270
Hs).
–Role of K-isomerism on “stability”.
–Angular dependence of the fission barriers.
•Gamma-ray spectroscopy with reaction at intermediate energies:
–Inelastic scattering; Coulomb excitation
See the SPIRAL2 white paper/blue book!
Main new design specifications:
•Full digital electronics
•PSA « of the poor man »
•Very high rates (>50 kHz/crystal?)… whilst maintening an
« optimum » resolution. R&D.
•Triggerless as well as triggered (multiplicity, auxiliary det.)
•Time resolution: 10ns baseline project. 1ns under study.
•Two energy ranges: 6 MeV and 20 MeV.
•Shield energy resolution (calorimetry) not critical.
Need for an upgrade: EXOGAM2

GTS system status and limitations
Features• GTS tree made of 18*GTSV3 (17 fanin-fanout and 1 root) => 5 GTS NIM carriers• GTS trigger processor is the XpressGen2V5-200 PCi board
Status• GTS trigger processor: current firmware and software will be retrieved from AGATA• XpressGen2V5 is being tested with PLDA software tools
Limitations 1) One TR per GTS optical link 2) GTS latency (leaf level) : 80ns between two consecutive TR3) Total # of TR limited to 2554) Total # TR processed by the current trigger processor limited to 40
GTS upgrade is needed.Current upgrade aims to fix:
- point 1 : Number TR is extended to 16- point 2 : No latency
Suggestions to fix points 3 and 4 : - point 3: IP number should be on 16 bits- point 4: PCI board could be changed or replaced by a
software trigger

- EXOGAM2 phase 2 project : 4 years, 2011- 2014- Resources consolidated since 2011 (IFIC, INFN,IPNO, CSNSM, BARC)- Synergies with NEDA, AGATA, S3 and PARIS
Total = 268 mm
The preserie module of NUMEXO2 digitizer should be available on Q3 2013
4. Planning
5. Conclusion
• Revision of schedule in 2010; on schedule since then.
• Important milestones in 2012: o Finalization of the design of the digitizer, detailed check and 2 prototypes orderedo Final design of the FADC. Synergies with NEDA, S3, PARIS (?). Prototypes tested OK. Preserial modules available in October from Spain.o Feasibility of the FADC in India: answer in early 2013o Test of the prototype digitizer started early November 2012 and progress very wello Validation of firmware V6 and V5 using the complete chain with a test board and a Clovero Integration of the GTS leaf IP => postponed to 2013
• Most of 2013 dedicated to full test and characterization of the digitizer equipped with 4 FADCs and the connection box. Order of pre serie modules in EU and India. Extensive tests and comparison before ordering mass production
• Budget as expected. Excellent synergies (NEDA, S3, PARIS). Good for support.
• Full documentation of the project is up to date
