Abstract
A brief review is given of the most common nuclear particle detectors such as the gas ionization chamber, the surface barrier detector, and scintillation detectors. Some combinations of detectors are discussed with particular emphasis on heavy-ion spectroscopy. Magnetic (momentum) spectrographs and one example of a proposed energy-mass spectrograph complete the list. Some possible future trends are indicated.
