Nuclear structure at the limits: Continued exploration with Gammasphere

Abstract

More than a decade after the large γ -ray detector arrays came into operation, their impact is as large as ever. A few examples from Gammasphere are discussed here. They illustrate that the arrays make substantial contributions, not only in areas where they were expected to do so such as studies of nuclei at high angular momentum, but also in other domains such as nucleosynthesis, for example.
