Lifetime measurements with fast timing scintillation detectors at VECC, Kolkata

Abstract

The developments on lifetime measurements with fast timing scintillation detectors at VECC, Kolkata has been discussed. Different aspects of the $\gamma -\gamma$ fast timing facility VENTURE (VECC array for Nuclear fast Timing and angUlar corRElation studies) has been outlined in the light of level lifetime measurement with electronic fast timing technique. The exotic structures of the nuclei with A$\sim$ 130 and A$\sim$ 150, studied using the fast timing setups, have been elaborated. The plan for future development of the second phase of VENTURE, i.e. VENTURE-2.0 has been shown along with its progress till date.
