Nuclear physics experiments using accelerators

In this paper, we present safety aspects for nuclear physics experiments froth: an accelerator user's perspective. An overview of the BARC-TIFR Pelletron and LINAC accelerators is given, followed by a description of the common experimental set-ups. In these experiments, detectors are used both online and offline to collect information. Detectors signals are processed by suitable electronics and data is gathered in data acquisition systems. Studies of nuclear reactions are often carried out in a scattering chamber. Description of the experiments and safety aspects are presented. Data acquisition systems are described. Aspects of data safety are discussed
