Abstract
The main features of nuclear targets, recoil ion catchers and reaction chambers used in nuclear spectroscopic investigations involving in-be am multi-e-gamma spectrometers are discussed. The relative importance of the F-ray background due to the accelerated ion-target and the reco il-ion-target interaction is estimated. Its impact on the prompt low-e nergy electron measurements is stressed. Finally a few general feature s of the interplay between accelerated ion beams, targets and recoil i on catchers particularly relevant for these measurements are broadly d iscussed and illustrated with typical examples of in-beam e-gamma stud ies.
