Tender description

The University intends to purchase three capsules of the AGATA detector, a device for gamma-ray spectroscopy in nuclear physics. Lot 1: AGATA comprises a number of detection units, each made of three HPGe detectors in semi-coaxial configuration sharing a common cryostat.Each crystal has a pyramid shape:the front-end features a section shaped like an irregular hexagon but the opposite (rear) end has still a cylindrical shape.The crystals have three slightly different shapes. Their external surface is electrically segmented into 36 parts, through 6 longitudinal segmentations and 6 transversal segmentations. Each crystal is mounted in a vacuum-tight capsule. This order is for three capsules corresponding to the three different shapes of a single triple-detector unit.The performance and manufacturing specifications are tightly defined to match the requirements of the AGATA detector and its spectroscopic performance.
