| - | + | Gosia is the primary analysis code for planning experiments and analyzing data for [[low-energy Coulomb excitation]] experiments. It is suited for both planning experiments and analysis of Coulomb excitation data. The original version was written at the University of Rochester in 1979--1980 by [[Tomasz Czosnyka]], who maintained the code until his untimely death in 2006. [[What_is_Gosia | Learn more...]]. | |

| + | The GOSIA suite of codes are ideally suited to the design and planning of | ||
| + | heavy-ion induced Coulomb excitation experiments as well as the subsequent | ||
| + | analysis. Coulomb excitation experiments can seem deceptively simple, | ||
| + | especially for few-state problems, leading some experimenters to fall into | ||
| + | analysis traps or collecting data that have less than optimal sensitivity to | ||
| + | the goals of the experiment. The [[experiment_planning | Experiment planning]] page identifies a few potential pitfalls | ||
| + | in the design and analysis of Coulomb excitation experiments. | ||
