Zusammenfassung:A Gamma-ray energy tracking array can provide higher efficiency, better peak-to-total ratio and higher position resolution than the current generation of detector arrays. Particularly, the capability of reconstructing the position of the interaction with millimetre resolution is needed to fully exploit the physics opportunities provided by current and next generation radioactive beam facilities. This paper presents the basic concepts of energy tracking, examples of physics opportunities, and the status of the GRETINA/GRETA project.
