The Euroball Spectrometer

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

Euroball is a European project to build a highly efficient and powerful gamma-ray spectrometer for nuclear spectroscopy. The project represents an amalgamation of recent technical advances in detectors, electronics and data acquisition. These developments and the status of the project will be discussed.
