Abstract
Radioactive beams obtained via fragmentation of the projectile on a primary target have shown to be a powerfull tool to produce exotic nuclei. To get beams of exotic nuclei, new facilities have been developped recently. At GANIL the SPIRAL facility is ready and will deliver the first radioactive beam before the end of 2000. However, when looking into details, severe limitations might reduce the hopes if R&D efforts are not done. The low intensities, wide range of experimental conditions, and the radioactive nature of the beam itself are some of these constraints. The design of the future (and already under construction) spectrometers intended to be used with radioactive beams integrates these new difficulties in their technical design. Based on simple realistic experiments, the physics will be described and the expected performance of new generation detectors will be discussed. New ideas for large efficiency spectrometers will be briefly described, based on the experience which has been acquired through the R&D performed in some large collaborations.
