description

Abstract Laser-microwave double-resonance techniques in radiofrequency (rf) traps and Penning traps represent a powerful tool to determine hyperfine structure splittings as well as nuclear g factors to high precision. While hyperfine structure constants have been determined in a number of cases below the 10 −10 level of precision, electronic g factors have been measured to 10 −7 and there are good prospects of obtaining similar accuracy for g l . Moreover sensitive techniques have been developed for injection of ions from outside the trap. This opens the possibility to determine hyperfine anomalies at least to the 1% level of precision for chains of unstable isotopes.
