Abstract:
Atomic physics techniques like Penning-trap and storage-ring mass spectrometry as well as
laser spectroscopy have provided sensitive high-precision tools for detailed studies of nuclear ground-state
properties far from the valley of β-stability. Mass, moment and nuclear charge radius measurements in long
isotopic and isotonic chains have allowed extraction of nuclear structure information such as halos, shell
and subshell closures, the onset of deformation, and the coexistence of nuclear shapes at nearly degenerate
energies. This review covers experimental precision techniques to study nuclear ground-state properties
and some of the most recent results for nuclear structure studies.
