Electron Scattering for Exotic Nuclei

Electron scattering is known to be one of the key experimental tools to study detailed internal structures of atomic nuclei, though its application to production-hard short-lived nuclei was not possible to date. Due to advances in accelerator technologies with efficient production scheme of unstable nuclei, the world's first electron-scattering facility for exotic nuclei has started its operation. Long-awaited structure studies of exotic nuclei by electron scattering will be soon realized.
