This course is intended for users of on-line recoil separators in nuclear physics experiments. The aim is to concentrate on the practical aspects of using such devices, and the focus is on hands-on work in the JYFL accelerator laboratory. The laboratory houses the gas-filled separator RITU, which has been in hard use during the past 20 years, and the brand new MARA device which is a compact modification of the FMA-type of vacuum separator. Beam will be taken into one or both of these separators to get a real feeling of experimental work using such devices. The laboratory work will be complemented with presentations on closely related topics such as vacuum techniques and data acquisition.
