Recent high-precision measurements on the g-factor of highly charged ions with Penning traps, together with a correspondingly accurate theoretical description, allow detailed tests of QED in strong fields. Furthermore, fundamental constants such as the electron mass and the fine-structure constant α can be extracted in such studies.
Due to their comparably simple structure, one-electron ions are most suited for testing strong-field QED effects (see e.g. [1]). A determination of α however also necessitates an accurate description for three-electron ions, as discussed recently in [2], because employing a specific weighted difference of the g-factors of both ions, the detrimental nuclear structural effects can be effectively suppressed. Therefore, we present recent theoretical calculations for one- and three-electron ions. – [1] N. A. Belov et al., submitted; arXiv:1610.01340 (2016); [2] V. A. Yerokhin et al., Phys. Rev.
