• Analogue energy resolution results
Detector Characterisation Group
– A 370kBq 60Co source was placed near the detector.
– An Ortec 671 Spectroscopy amplifier was used with 6us of
shaping to produce energy resolutions.
– The count rate was <1000cps.
– The core energy resolution was measured to be 2.6 keV.

• Performance tests of the AGATA prototype detector.
• Fitted with GANIL differential preamplifiers
• CWC differential to single ended converters (manufactured
at TU Munich) used to provide single ended signal to
electronics.
• GRT4 digital electronics cards
AGATA cabling scheme
• AGATA detector connected to CWC modules through 7 MRD
cable cables.
• 37 BNC > SMA cables connect to GRT4 modules.
• The cabling scheme groups segments in rings:
– 1-6 ring 1
– 7-12 ring 2 etc.

AGATA coincidence
• Coincidence data has been recorded along 3 lines and 3
radii inside sector E of the detector.
• The data is in rings w.r.t. centre (x,x):
– Ring 1 : 28mm radius / 6 hours per position
– Ring 2 : 23mm radius / 8 hours per position
– Ring 3 : 18mm radius / 10 hour per position
Detector Characterisation Group
• In lines
– Line 1 : 0O 26mm / 12 hours per position
– Line 2 : 15O 26mm / 12 hours per position
– Line 3 : 30O 26mm / 12 hours per position
• The z depths are:
1st depth = 5 - 7.88mm
2nd depth = 14.38 – 17.26mm
3rd depth = 27.26 – 30.14mm
4th depth = 44.14 – 47.02mm
5th depth = 61.02 – 63.9mm
6th depth = 79.55 – 82.43mm

• The region of interest for
“true” coincidences is
highlighted in red.
• The data was presorted to
keep only the data in this
region.
