Multistrip silicon detectors for studies with low energy RNBs Original Research Article

Over the last decade, multistrip silicon detectors have had a major impact on experimental programmes using low-energy radioactive nuclear beams (RNBs). The development of silicon detectors and instrumentation for use at first and second generation RNB facilities will be discussed. The experimental requirements of prospective third generation RNB facilities will be discussed with particular emphasis on the development of custom integrated circuits and compatible multistrip silicon detectors.
