Description

In this talk I will review different types of Active Target detectors and their application to various experimental situations. Although Active Target detectors have clear advantages from the points of view of luminosity and angular coverage, their optimization to particular experimental goals often require different configurations. Several of the parameters that can be considered will be covered in relation with their implications towards the fulfillment of the experimental goals. The concept of Active Target is relatively new in Nuclear Physics, but already a large number of ideas on how to use it are starting to emerge in laboratories around the world.
