GRETA completes commissioning at FRIB

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) posted an article about the commissioning of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), the world’s most advanced gamma-ray detector. Following its initial run at FRIB, this state-of-the-art array is now ready for full scientific operations. Researchers will use GRETA to explore the extreme limits of atomic nuclei, investigate how heavy elements are forged in stars, and refine theoretical models that underpin astrophysics, nuclear energy, medicine, and national security.
