Abstract
The interesting nuclear structure phenomena observed in some light nuclei at the neutron drip line suggest the measurement of basic ground state properties such as spins, magnetic moments and electric quadrupole moments. Here it will be discussed what experiments are presently feasable using laser spectroscopy. For the outstanding example of a “halo” nucleus,11Li, the development of a technique combining β-asymmetry detected optical pumping in a fast beam with NMR spectroscopy has yielded pertinent results, the most recent of which is an experimental value of the nuclear quadrupole moment.
