title: The GRID Technique: Current Status and New Trends.
abstract: In the GRID technique one measures Doppler-broadened line profiles of γ transitions using the high resolution crystal spectrometers GAMS, which are installed at the high flux reactor of the ILL Grenoble. One of the essential applications of this technique is the measurement of nuclear state lifetimes. In the present contribution the precision and the principal limits of the technique are discussed.
