At GSI the combination of the fragment separator FRS and the cooler-storage ring ESR is used to perform high accuracy mass and lifetime measurements of exotic nuclei. Operating the ESR in the isochronous mode allows measurements of the masses of exotic nuclei with half-lives down to several ten microseconds. By additional determination of the magnetic rigidity at the dispersive midplane of the FRS the mass resolving power could be significantly improved. A recently performed experiment with neutron-rich fission fragments will give access to new masses and therefore important information for investigations in nuclear structure and astrophysics.
