Dear Colleagues,

The annual AGATA collaboration meeting will be held at Legnaro National Laboratory on November 10-12, 2021, at the end of the Pre-PAC Workshop of AGATA@LNL (November 8-10).

The afternoon of November 10^th will be devoted to presentations on the status of the AGATA spectrometer and on the recent AGATA campaign at GANIL. This will be followed by short presentations on recent results and on the status of ongoing analyses of AGATA experiments.

The meeting will finish at lunch time on Friday November 12^th .

The yearly closed meeting of the AGATA Collaboration Council will take place on Thursday 11^th , late afternoon.

Details can be found at the web page of the collaboration meeting:

Dear Colleagues,

The neutron multiplicity filter NEDA will be installed at the Heavy Ion Laboratory, University of Warsaw, in conjunction with the local gamma-ray spectrometer EAGLE. The EAGLE-NEDA setup will be available for experiments for about a year, starting from the second half of 2022.

On 20-21 October 2021 a workshop aimed at the discussion of experimental projects employing this setup will be held in Warsaw. More information can be found at: http://slcj.uw.edu.pl/en/needle-workshop/.

We invite you to the workshop and encourage to submit experimental proposals. Interested people are encouraged to register.

Best regards,

Marcin Palacz and Grzegorz Jaworski.

The next (and last) pre-PAC meeting of the AGATA at GANIL campaign will be held on 19-20 March 2020. The goal of this workshop is to discuss the physics cases and to assess the feasibility of proposals to be submitted to the forthcoming GANIL PAC. The call is for VAMOS + AGATA without MAJOR ancillary such as MUGAST or NEDA. The use of other ancillary detectors is feasible. The experiments will run in 2021.

For further information please contact Zsolt Podolyák and Emmanuel Clément.

20th AGATA Week and 4th Position Sensitive Germanium Detectors and application Workshop

16th – 20th September 2019

Dear collaborators,

This message is to announce that in the web page

https://agenda.infn.it/event/19438/

the registration is now opened for both the 20th AGATA week and the 4th Position Sensitive Germanium Detectors (PSeGe) technology and applications Workshop.

Both events, will be held at INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, Padova, Italy from Monday 16th to Friday 20th September 2019 and are being organized by our collaborators from the Legnaro National Laboratory, INFN-Sezione di Padova and the University of Padova.

Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning will be devoted to the PSeGe workshop. PSeGe is a Joint Research Activity within the ENSAR2-Horizon2020 project, aiming to develop position sensitive Ge detector technologies and the demonstration of Ge detector imaging applications and associated detector technologies.

Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to the 20th AGATA week. For this part of the meeting, the program will include reports from the regular working group and team meetings.

We encourage the participants to register as soon as possible to facilitate the organization.

Please, feel free to forward this message to your collaborators.

Looking forward to seeing you in Padova.

3-7 June 2019, University of Liverpool, UK

Under the framework of NUSPIN@ENSAR2 training activities there will be a Germanium Detector School hosted at the University of Liverpool from 3rd to 7th June 2019. The school is aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and electronics engineers who are not experts in germanium detector systems. The school is a complementary activity to the recent Hands on Workshop on Test, Operation and Repair of detectors held at IKP Cologne in September 2018. The school will give an introduction to germanium detector systems and provide training in essential measurement techniques.

Topics include:

• Detector assembly
• Repair/Problem solving
• Annealing & Vacuum testing
• Performance Testing
• Custom Acceptance Testing

The website and registration page will be available shortly. ENSAR2 financial support is available to students, postdoctoral researchers and electronics engineers to help with their attendance at this school.

10-14 September 2018, IPHC Strasbourg

Dear collaborators,

This message is to announce that the registration in now opened for both the 19th AGATA week and the 3rd Position Sensitive Germanium Detectors (PSeGe)
technology and application Workshop.

The registration can be done in the web page for both events:

https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/17160/

Both events, the AGATA week and the PSeGe workshop, will be held at IPHC from Monday 10th to Friday 14th September 2018.

Sessions are foreseen from Monday afternoon to Friday morning, i.e. four full days, therefore, please consider the extra time for travelling.

The meeting is being organized by our collaborators from IPHC, France and will be held in IPHC Grünewald amphitheatre located in building 25.

Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning will be devoted to the PSeGe workshop. PSeGe is a JRA within the ENSAR2 –EC- project, aiming to develop position
sensitive Ge detector technologies and to the demonstration of Ge detector imaging applications and associated detector technologies.

Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning will be devoted to the 19th AGATA week. For this part of the meeting, the program will include
reports from the regular working group and team meetings.
