Abstract

Recent examples of lifetime measurements, ground state hyperfine splittings and spectroscopy on minute samples of radioactive ions illustrate the extension of classical methods of spectroscopy to new regions of interest by the use of ion storage techniques. Estimates are given on the sensitivity of the method with respect to be possible investigation of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect in isotopic chains of elements.
