The advent of Radioactive Nuclear Beam facilities will soon open new perspectives for nuclear structure studies. However, they will never provide the same wealth of data as stable beam facilities. Recent studies have shown that B(E2;0{sub 1}{sup +}2{sub 1}{sup +}) values have a high degree of sensitivity to structural features. We developed several techniques to obtain these values by low-energy Coulomb excitation of Radioactive Nuclear Beams in inverse kinematics on low Z targets. The methods are based on the measurement of the decay curve as the Coulomb excited nuclei decay in-flight. The apparatus will be described and recent results of test runs with stable beams will be presented.
