SIRIUS is a state-of-the-art detector system for nuclear decay spectroscopy that will be mounted at the focalplane of S3 (Super Separator Spectrometer), which is part of the new SPIRAL2 facility at GANIL, Caen in France. Such a systemrequires high performance as it is dedicated to the study of very exotic nuclei. It is the result of collaboration between GANILCSNSM, IRFU, and IPHC It is composed of a succession of detectors (Trackers, Silicon detector DSSD and Tunnel plus anarray of five clover Germanium detectors). This set-up is mounted in a compact geometry. The energy measurement variesfrom 50 keV to over 500 MeV with high precision (2 x 10-3) at low energies and 1 % for the detection of heavy ions. A majorchallenge has been the development of new electronics with a very large dynamic range maintaining an adequate energyresolution for the measured particles (with energies from a few hundred keV up to 500 MeV).
