The development of on-line mass separators, which provide long chains of isotopes extending far off stability, immediately raised the question of how to gain access to the basic nuclear ground-state properties of these exotic nuclei—their spins, moments, radii, and masses. In general, the amount of radioactive material produced at these facilities is too small to form beams or targets for any kind of scattering or nuclear-reaction experiment. On the other hand, the traditional spectroscopic methods, namely, atomic, nuclear, and mass spectroscopy, have turned out to be very suitable for this application since they are easily adapted to the special on-line conditions.
