Abstract
This is an open article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence 4.0; International audience; At the PF1B cold neutron beam line at the Institut Laue Langevin, the EXILL array consisting ofEXOGAM, GASP and ILL-Clover detectors was used to perform (n,$\gamma$) measurements at very high coincidencerates. About ten different reactions were measured in autumn 2012 using a highly collimated cold neutronbeam. In spring 2013, the EXOGAM array was combined with 16 LaBr3(Ce) scintillators in theEXILL&FATIMA campaign for the measurement of lifetimes using the generalised centroid differencemethod. We report on the properties of the set-ups and present first results from both campaigns.
