Baba RIKEN, 2-1 Hirosawa, Wako, Japan With cutting-edge progress in MPGD, yielding combined charge, time and position good resolution we are attempting to supersede conventional detectors (ion chambers or solid state devices) in nuclear physics. Basically the difficulties we are surmounting are (i) specific gases required for active targets (e.g. H2, D2 and He), (ii) at low and high pressures, (iii) the extraction of vertices from binary final states requiring wide dynamic ranges (iv) background subtraction from beta decay and (v) reaching optimum/reliable MPGD structures to reach competitive charge resolution total charge measurements. In the presentation we will give an outline of new MPGD based instruments being deployed in experiments for RIKEN (ZiTiX – unitary charge, time and position tracker for fission fragments at high counting rates; MINOS – an ‘active’ LH2 target) and Texas A&M (AstroBox-2 low energy proton decay spectra <300keV), MDM (Multi sampling focal plane detector for heavy ions above 8 MeV.A), TexAT (Active target for astro-physics)). New recent experimental results will be given. Future developments being undertaken will be given.
