THE INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEAR-STRUCTURE WITH STORAGE-RINGS - PRESENT AND FUTURE

Heavy-ion cooler and storage rings offer a rich field of new and uniqu e possibilities to study nuclear structure. Cooling creates beams of h igh phase space density for high-resolution experiments. In first expe riments atomic masses of more than hundred new nuclides were measured with high precision. Future experiments with cooled energetic beams of exotic nuclei allow high precision nuclear structure studies in direc t reactions such as (d, p), (p, p'), or Coulomb breakup. The extension of these investigations to electron scattering in a heavy-ion-electro n collider will be discussed.
