โฆ Synopsis
The physics questions that can be addressed through beta decays of exotic nuclei are reviewed. They cover fundamental tests, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear halo states and in particular beta-delayed particle emission processes. The basic theory is reviewed briefly and trends in the current experimental activities mentioned.

Even though being the subject of intense scrutiny during the last decade halo nuclei still offer unanswered questions. One way of adding confidence to the conclusions obtained in the often difficult experiments is to probe the same physical observable in various ways. The prominent example in this
Recent results and experiments are presented aiming at nuclear structure studies in the vicinity of the doubly-magic isotope 56 Ni. The feature of prompt particle emission is revised, and new studies of mirror nuclei in the upper fp shell are briefly discussed.
The recent progress in studies of fl-decays of drip-line nuclei possessing halo states is presented. The main emphasis is on the decay of 11Li, which has a well-established halo structure in its ground-state. Experimental results are from the ISOLDE Facility at CERN. The observation of beta-delayed
