Summary and Outlook Two complementary methods: Schottky and Isochronous mass spectrometry. • Broad-band: simultaneous measurements of ~100 of nuclides • High accuracy: 5 ∙10-7 for the IMS and up to 4 ∙10-8 for SMS • Ultimate sensitivity and efficiency: single ion is sufficient • Short half-lives: down to ~10 ms Ideal for measurements of large-areas of nuclides with very low cross-sections and very short half-lives • Highly-charged ions Ideal for decay studies relevant for astrophysical scenarios
