Strategy Strategy

Total synergy with the I3HP JRA6 projectstudy of HPGe crystal performance in strong magnetic field

Close collaboration with TORTOLISO experiment, approved by INFN CSN 5

Cagliari-Torino Collaborationproduction of LYSO crystals by an Italian firm

Contacts with INFN Groups, with solid experience on HPGe

exploitation of previous INFN investment

PRIN dedicated to an operative test of final HPGe configuration in magnetic field

Summary Summary

strangeness nuclear physics still has a great discovery potential

explorative run on γ-ray spectroscopy is feasible with:

present DAΦNE machineminor investment on FINUDA apparatus

DAΦNE luminosity upgrade will allow to the (enlarged) FINUDA community to maintain a main role in the field
