Abstract
The MISTRAL project (Mass measurements at ISolde using a Transmission RAdiofrequency spectrometer on-line) is scheduled to begin experiments towards the end of 1996. With high resolution (10(5)), potentially hi gh accuracy (5 x 10(-7)) and excellent sensitivity (10 s(-1)), the MIS TRAL spectrometer promises to provide needed mass measurements in regi ons of very-short lived nuclei. The spectrometer operation principles are described and a discussion concerning the interest in using highly charged ions is presented.
