Abstract

We present a didactical overview of the methods for the production of radioactive ion beams (RIBs), discussing the main characteristics and associated advantages and drawbacks of the in-flight separation and isotope separation on-line methods. We include a short overview of present and planned facilities, focusing on Europe. In the second part of the paper a brief introduction on the detection of radiation is given, followed by a discussion of the specific problems related to radiation detection in measurements involving RIBs. A few illustrative examples of detection setups are presented.
