Abstract
In recent years a number of nuclear phenomena was discovered that are accompanied by strong magnetic dipole (MI) transitions. Measurements of MZ matrix elements enabled nuclear physicists to deduce new structure information in a model-independent way, since the electromagnetic interaction is well understood. Due to the dominantly isovector character of the electromagnetic MI transition operator (see Appendix A), information on MI matrix elements helps to clarify various aspects of the nuclear isospin degree of freedom (see Appendix B). This is of particular importance as a prerequisite for making full use of newly established or planned radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities probing nuclei at extreme values of isospin.
