“…One of the major physics research programs at our centre is the investigation of heavy ion induced fission reactions that has gained momentum in recent times. Apart from fundamental interest to study the dynamics of heavy ion nuclear reactions, these studies may guide us to find out the right kind of target and projectile combination for the synthesis of super heavy elements [4].…”

“…These detectors are routinely used for measurement of fission fragment mass distributions using the Indian accelerator facilities (K130 Cyclotron, BARC-TIFR and IUAC Pelletron) to study the fusion fission and quasi-fission dynamics [4]. MWPCs of several dimensions were made in our laboratory as per the requirement of the experiment [6].…”

Progress in nuclear physics is driven by the experimental observation that requires state of the art detectors to measure various kinematic properties, such as energy, momentum, position etc. of the particles produced in a nuclear reaction. Advances in detector technology has enabled nuclear physicists to measure these quantities with better precision, and the reduced cost of the detection system has helped to have larger detection systems (array of detectors) to measure the rare processes with greater sensitivity. Several detection systems have been designed, developed and built in India over last few decades and are being used by the physicists. In this article, I will focus on such developments of detection systems at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC), Kolkata. Introduction:It is a privilege to present this review on the detector developments for nuclear physics research at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC), in this particular conference, that celebrates the centenary year of Bose Institute which happens to be the first inter disciplinary research institute in India, founded by Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose. He was one of the legendry Indian experimentalists who used to build his own instruments from the scratch for his research. The components of the instruments that he built (e.g; 60 GHz microwave apparatus [1] was quite innovative but remained pretty simple, that really attract and inspire us when we try to build our detectors in our laboratory. Scope of detection in fundamental nuclear physics:One of the fundamental questions that we deal in Nuclear Physics is, how do the nucleons work together to form complex nuclei. This branch of Nuclear Physics is often referred as Nuclear Structure. On the other hand, many of these nuclei are needed to make them react with target nuclei in order to understand the rearrangement of the nucleons inside nuclei that helps us to know the macroscopic or bulk properties of the nuclei. The interaction between two complex nuclei is broadly studied under the section called Nuclear Reaction. In general, the study of nuclear structure and nuclear reaction constitutes the low energy nuclear physics research. However there is another branch; the study of the constituents of nucleons, i.e. quarks and gluons and their interactions. This study requires very high energy to break the nucleons and this constitutes the high energy nuclear physics.Let us have a look at the evolution of nuclear physics with energy (as shown in Fig 1). The change over from one zone to other is not sharp, rather having consid-
