Abstract

Low-temperature nuclear orientation is well established as a technique for gaining spectroscopic information from radioactive decays. A new development in this field has been the on-line coupling of a dilution refrigerator to an isotope separator, which permits the direct implantation of any desired nuclide. If the isotope separator is itself on-line to a heavy-ion accelerator, it is possible to produce, implant and orient a variety of short-lived nuclei, especially those far from stability. Technological details of such facilities are discussed and examples of recent results from three operating facilities are given.
