Theory for the g factor of the electron in hydrogenlike carbon and a new value for the electron mass — •Thomas Beier1, Savely G.

The g factor of an electron bound in hydrogenlike carbon was measured to be 2.001 041 596 4 (8)(6)(44) where the uncertainties are due to statistical and systematical errors and the current value of the electron mass [1]. This value is in agreement with theoretical values of nearly the same precision [2,3] which in turn allows the determination of an independent value for the electron mass from this most precise comparison of quantum electrodynamical theory and experiment in any multiply charged system. We will elucidate the theoretical contributions which form the basis of this new mass determination.
