[NEW LOCATION-INPA 50-5026] INPA Seminar Speaker: Heather Crawford(LBNL)Title: The Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array – GRETA
December 5 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: December 5, 2025
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
New Location: INPA Conference Room – 50-5026 [Hybrid and In-Person]
Speaker: Heather Crawford (LBNL)
Title: The Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array – GRETA
Abstract: The Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA) Project started in 2017, following nearly a decade of successful science with the predecessor GRETINA array. Led by the Nuclear Science Division at LBNL, and with a team including scientists, engineers, and technical staff from NSD, Engineering, and ESnet, as well as from partner institutions ANL, ORNL, and FRIB, GRETA recently completed the CD-E-4A milestone. It is currently being installed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), with first science measurements expected at the end of 2026. I will review the GRETA project goals, both scientific and technical, and how it progressed from concept to fabrication to anticipated first science at FRIB.
