Abstract
The present status of nuclear spectroscopy with the use of radioactive nuclides as seen from the side of instrumentation and experimental methods is reviewed. It is remarked that the current status of progress in nuclear instrumentation is mainly due to improvements seen in the precision and rapidity of measurements. The impact brought upon γ-ray spectroscopy by the introduction of Ge detectors with its marked precision is described in connection with the resulting revelation of the complexity of the nuclear decay scheme. Mention is made of the tendency toward the use of multichannel detection equipment to increase the rapidity of measurements, an example being the multicounter goniometer in angular correlation measurements. The necessity of an on-line irradiation facility or an isotope separator on-line system (ISOL system) is emphasized for the studies of short lived nuclei. Plans for the future are presented.
