The focus of the APEX project is the study of the emission of electrons and positrons from collisions of heavy ions. However, scattering of this type involves intense Coulomb excitation of nuclear states so nuclear spectroscopy can never be far from one`s mind. The authors also have close connections with the conference title; the detector which they describe does contain two large gamma arrays, each subtending 58% of 4{pi} and containing 24 position sensitive detectors. Finally, they will see their research may have uncovered some interesting new spectroscopy in the actinides, so the connections between APEX and this conference may be closer than is first apparent.
