The g factor of highly charged ions

g-Factor experiments on hydrogen-like highly charged ions

The magnetic moment of the electron bound in hydrogenlike systems, expressed by the g-factor, differs from that of the free electron by different contributions: The binding to the nucleus leads to relativistic shifts, which are analytically known, bound state quantum-electrodynamic (BSQED) corrections are 3 orders of magnitude smaller, finally nuclear structure and recoil corrections are small ...

Status of the g-factor experiment for highly-charged calcium

Measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron bound in hydrogen-like ions with spinless nuclei have proven to be highly-sensitive tests of corresponding calculations based on bound-state quantum electrodynamics (BS-QED). The calculations of the g-factors of the electron bound to hydrogen-like carbon and oxygen and their corresponding measurements performed by the collaboration o...
