A non-destructive detection of highly-charged ions for the measurement of the magnetic moment of the bound electron in 40,48Ca17+,19+ — •Sven Sturm1, Klaus Blaum1,2, Wolfgang Quint2, Birgit Schabinger1, Anke Wagner1, and Günter Werth1 — 1Institute of Physics, Johannes Gutenberg-University, 55099 Mainz, Germany — 2GSI Darmstadt, 64291 Darmstadt, Germany
The high-precision measurement of the magnetic moment of the bound electron in highly-charged ions yields a stringent test for Bound-State quantum electrodynamical (BS-QED) calculations. Since the BS-QED contribution to the g-factor calculation increases with the nuclear charge, we plan to measure the g-factor of 40,48Ca17+,19+ ions stored in a triple-Penning trap system with a relative uncertainty of 10−9 using the “continuous Stern-Gerlach-effect” [1]. To this end, a novel Penning trap setup and highly sensitive detection methods at cryogenic temperatures have been developed and tested. The principle of the non-destructive detection technique for multi-species ion-clouds as well as single ions is introduced and recent results are presented.
