Abstract
Isotope shift measurements by means of laser resonance ionization spectrosc opy are a unique tool to determine the charge radii of halo nuclei. The mos t prominent halo nucleus Li-11 is at the same time the best accessible cand idate for such studies. The experimental method to determine the charge rad ius of this exotic nucleus and first test results on Li-7 will be presented in this paper.
