| The Segmented Germanium Array (SeGA) |
SeGA is an array of eighteen 32-fold segmented high-purity Germanium detectors optimized for in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy with beams of rare isotopes. By electronically partitioning each crystal into 32 segments we can meaure the energy and interaction points of gamma-rays emitted fast-moving rare isotopes. This allows us to reconstruct the energy of the gamm-ray in the frame of the moving particle. SeGA is largest operational germanium detector array for gamma-ray spectroscopy
with fast beams of rare isotopes until the completion of the planned
