Abstract
Direct mass measurements with electron-cooled ions coasting in a heavy-ion storage ring allow the map** of large areas of the nuclear chart, well suited to explore new regions and to investigate isospin effects as well as structure changes far-off stability. In this contribution first results will be discussed, experimental masses will be compared to theoretical predictions. A study of the isospin dependence of shell strength and pairing will be made.
The storage of atomic nuclei fully stripped or as few electron systems allows to study them under interstellar conditions, specific decay modes can be switched-off.
The prospects for precision experiments in storage and cooler rings including reaction studies at an internal target will be given.
The new GSI project of a new synchrotron facility with new instrumentation will have new impacts on structure research extending our knowledge into far unknown regions and providing new probes for structure research with unstable nuclei.
