description

Recent developments in atomic hyperfine structure and isotope shift are discussed under the following aspects: (i) Precise evaluation of nuclear moments and isotopic change of nuclear charge radii by quantitative computation of atomic structure or by calibration of the atomic constants through results from electronic and mesic X-ray spectroscopy. (ii) How to apply spectroscopic methods to nuclei far off stability. (iii) What can be learned from a systematic investigation of long isotopic chains.
