19. Commissioning Preliminary Plan (next plenary session!) The earliest possibility to run in-beam tests is Dec.2008 - Phase 0: commissioning with radioactive sources starting when detectors and electronics are available (even partially).- Phase 1: easy test with tandem beams with no ancillary detectors. Radiative capture or fusion-evaporation reactions with light targets in inverse kinematics.- Phase 2: test with a “simple” ancillary detector with limited number of parameters (DANTE). Coulomb excitation reactions with medium mass beams (A<100) in inverse kinematics.- Phase 3: test with PRISMA with multi-nucleon transfer reactions and at high multiplicity with appropriate ancillaries.

30. Outlook: • LNL is doing a consistent effort to have the acceleration complex upgraded for the arrival of the AGATA Demonstrator (AD). A new ECR source is presently being installed . • The basic infrastructures for AD will be completed by summer 2008 and, the first tests with an AGATA TC are expected between summer and October. • For the physics campaign, following the Demonstration, the AD will provide experimental capabilities beyond CLARA. • Installation only possible with all the AGATA collaboration working groups, THANK YOU!
