GAMMA-1: Emission of prompt gamma-rays in fission and related topics

In view of the high urgency of this request the idea emerged to organize a dedicated workshop on the Emission of Prompt γ-Rays in Fission (GAMMA-1), which aimed at bringing together Europe’s leading scientists in this particular field. The scientific workshop covered experimental as well as theoretical aspects of prompt γ-ray emission in fission, but also prompt neutron emission and fission-fragment characteristics were discussed. Taking into account the challenging aspect of instrumentation the scope of the workshop included also a dedicated session on γ-spectrometry and instrumentation. GAMMA-1 is the first of a planned series of biennial workshops focusing on the research on prompt fission γ-rays in fission and related topics and was held in Novi Sad, Republic of Serbia, and organized within the Enlargement Initiative of the European Commission. The purpose of this initiative is to open up a platform to scientists from candidate countries to present their activities in both fundamental as well as applied nuclear physics research. The European Commission financed travel and stay for the contributing participants. The scientific workshop attracted 35 participants from which about half were from recent member states and candidate countries. One entire session was dedicated to the presentation of nuclear research activities in the Republic of Serbia.
