Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a highly developed detector system to track gamma rays. It is a European collaboration project funded by twelve countries in Europe. The project was proposed in 2001 and in 2002 it was signed by the participant countries; in 2005 the first detector showed its result. It is expected that the complete AGATA will be ready within 2018. The spectrometer is 4π gamma-ray detector which is a combination of several Germanium detectors (Ge-detector). It is a major instrument to study nuclear structure ray tracking by measuring the γ-radiation. AGATA will have very good full energy peak efficiency with high peak-to-total ratio (P/T) and angular resolution. The system will be capable of high event rates with ancillary detectors to measure light charged particles or neutron.
Agata is a female yellow Labrador Retriever drug detection dog who works at Leticia, Columbia. In 2004, Columbian drug barons placed a $10,000 USD bounty on her head, making her one of the only dogs to ever have a bounty on its head. This resulted in the dog and her handler being given a body guard. The bounty was the result of her abnormal skills at drug detection, having stopped more than three hundred kilos of cocaine, worth more than seven million dollars, and twenty kilos of heroin. She was decorated for her work.
