Gammasphere

• Studying the physics of superdeformed nuclei through gamma ray emission

• Collision with target emits gamma rays

  • N rays are emitted
  • Number and energies are recorded

• Pick L: Plot energies in L-dimensional space

  • Smallest energy on first axis, largest on last

• Pick three dimensions to visualize

• Looking for correllations

  • Helps detect artifacts
