The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a European project to develop and operate the next generation gamma-ray spectrometer. AGATA based on technique of energy tracking in electrically segmented high-purity germanium crystals. This requires accurate determination energy, time position every interaction as gamma ray deposits its within detector volume. Reconstruction full path results with very high efficiency excellent spectral response. realization result many technical advances....

At present, magnetic confinement fusion devices rely solely on absolute neutron counting as a direct way of measuring power. Absolute deuterium-tritium gamma rays could provide the secondary neutron-independent technique required for validation scientific results and licensing tool future power plants. However, this approach necessitates an accurate determination gamma-ray-to-neutron branching ratio. The ratio reaction ^{3}H(^{2}H,γ)^{5}He/^{3}H(^{2}H,n)^{4}He was determined in plasmas at...
