Magnetic moment measurements of electrons bound in highly charged ions provide access to QED effects in the extreme fields close to the ionic nucleus. Hence a cryogenic Penning trap setup is currently being built to determine the electronic g-factor of boron-like argon (Ar13+) via double-resonance spectroscopy: A closed cycle between the fine structure levels 22 P1/2 - 22 P3/2 is driven by a laser whereas microwaves are tuned to get in resonance with the Zeeman-sublevel transition. With this frequency and the measurement of the cyclotron ion motion the g-factor can be determined with an expected accuracy of 10−9 or better. To this end, we employ an arrangement consisting of a creation trap and a spectroscopy trap. We present an overview of the experiment and give the details and status of the apparatus. In the future, the setup will be connected to the HITRAP beamline at GSI, so hyperfine structure transitions of hydrogen-like heavy ions can be studied and electronic and nuclear magnetic moments can be measured.
