description

Laser spectroscopy measurements have yielded a wealth of new information about the moments and charge radii of unstable isotopes. The procedures of evaluating these moments from the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole terms of the hyperfine structure arew discussed. Examples are presented, with emphasis on the isotopic chains of odd-proton nuclei, and their essential features are put into the context of current theoretical model descriptions for spherical and deformed nuclei. Finally, new developments of extremely sensitive experimental techniques are discussed with regard to an application to nuclei very far from stability.
