Description
Nuclear moment measurements are a central topic in studies of exotic nuclei far away from stability, since they provide information about the composition of the wave function and the shapes of atomic nuclei. The progress in the field was reviewed recently [1-3]. In this talk I will present the recent advances in the field related to the different experimental techniques and the prospects for the next decade. I will also address the status of the nuclear moment data bases and the perspectives for their upgrade in recent years. I will also discuss the complementarity of the nuclear moment databases with data compilations of related quantities, such as charged radii, transition probabilities, molecular and crystal lattice electric field gradients, hyperfine fields, etc., and their importance for the correct understanding of the experimental results from which nuclear moments were derived. The recommendations of two successive meetings, which took place at IAEA, Vienna, related to the support and handling of the databases on nuclear moments and nuclear charge radii will be commented, too.
