“A Craftsman Must Sharpen His Tools to Do His Job,” said Confucius. Nuclear detection and readout techniques are the foundation of particle physics, nuclear physics, and particle astrophysics to reveal the nature of the universe. Also, they are being increasingly used in other disciplines like nuclear power generation, life sciences, environmental sciences, medical sciences, etc. The article reviews the short history, recent development, and trend of nuclear detection and readout techniques, covering Semiconductor Detector, Gaseous Detector, Scintillation Detector, Cherenkov Detector, Transition Radiation Detector, and Readout Techniques. By explaining the principle and using examples, we hope to help the interested reader underst and this research field and bring exciting information to the community.

孔子说：“工欲善其事，必先利其器”。核探测和读出技术是粒子物理学、核物理学和粒子天体物理学揭示宇宙本质的基础。此外，它们也越来越多地应用于核能发电、生命科学、环境科学、医学等其他学科。本文回顾了核探测和读出技术的简短历史、最新发展和趋势，涵盖半导体探测器、气态探测器探测器、闪烁探测器、切伦科夫探测器、跃迁辐射探测器和读出技术。通过解释原理和使用示例，我们希望帮助感兴趣的读者理解这个研究领域，并为社区带来令人兴奋的信息。
