Since my university studies, first in Germany and later in France, I involved myself often in very general prob¬lematics, such as the foundation of quantum me¬chanics (Bell inequality), precision measurements to search for nuclear color-VanderWaals forces, nuclear energy and environment, formation of superheavy systems, and very recently the possibility of resonant neutrino scattering. Recently, I was mainly working on experimental nucle¬ar physics, and more specifically I was working on the study of exotic nuclei. This domain is at the frontline of pres¬ent nuclear physics and is extremely challenging for an experimental physicist. Many new techniques have to be developed in order to study very rare nuclei far from stability. The measurement of nuclear masses is one of the domains where the search of high precision must be combined with a very good efficiency to be able to obtain results for very rare nuclei.
