DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Luna Pellegri (University of the Witwatersrand and i
 Themba LABS)\nThe African LaBr Array (ALBA) consists of 23 large volume La
 Br3:Ce. The characteristics of these crystals\, such as the good energy re
 solution and the high efficiency\, make this array very useful for the det
 ection of high-energy gamma rays. The ALBA project foresees the use of the
  gamma spectrometer in stand-alone mode and coupled to the K600 spectromet
 er or to silicon-detector arrays for the particle identification. A Digita
 l acquisition system based on XIA PIXIE 16 cards (12 bit 500Mz digitizatio
 n) is currently under test. \n\nThe first six detectors of ALBA arrived in
  2018 and they were successfully used in an experiment to investigate the 
 pygmy dipole resonance in deformed nuclei. An overview of the project will
  be given underling the physics program that is envisaged for the upcoming
  future.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/event/82/contributions/1332/
