Description
Gamma-Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei (GRIFFIN) is a high-efficiency spectrometer comprised of 16 Compton-suppressed high-purity germanium (HPGe) clover detectors that has been optimized for $\gamma$-ray detection following $\beta$ decays of the low-energy (30-60 keV) beams of radioactive isotopes provided by the ISAC-I facility at TRIUMF. A key feature of the spectrometer is the incorporation of a powerful suite of auxiliary detection systems that makes GRIFFIN an extremely versatile facility for a wide range of decay spectroscopy research. Following a brief overview of the GRIFFIN spectrometer and its capabilities, this presentation will discuss a number of research highlights from the first decade of GRIFFIN operations at the ISAC facility. Future opportunities for research with GRIFFIN at TRIUMF's new Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) will also be discussed.
