Investigating the exotic nuclear properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from the β-stability line remains a cornerstone of nuclear physics research. These fundamental properties are of great relevance for our understanding exotic nuclear structure phenomena, and will be a prominent input for the development of nuclear theory methods.
Laser spectroscopy is one of the powerful experimental tools to measure nuclear-model-independently multiple nuclear properties, such as nuclear spins, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments and charge radii, and has therefore been established at various facilities around the world. This talk will focus on the introduction to the laser spectroscopy technique and its significant contribution on the investigation of exotic nuclear phenomena, together with a development plan and status of such technique to be used at the radioactive beam facilities of China.
