Molecular hydrogen ions (MHI) are a simple system allowing the comparison of high-precision measurements to state-of-the-art QED theory, testing the validity of the latter. At Alphatrap [1], we can isolate and confine a single MHI for months and perform high-precision spectroscopy using non-destructive quantum state detection.
I will present the results of hyperfine structure measurements on a single HD+ ion. From these, the bound g factor of the constituent particles, as well as coefficients of the hyperfine Hamiltonian can be extracted. The latter are important for a better understanding of rovibrational spectroscopy performed on this ion, from which fundamental constants, such as mp/me are determined to highest precision [2].
We are currently upgrading our trap for single-ion rovibrational laser spectroscopy of MHI. The development of these techniques is one of the required steps towards spectroscopy of an antimatter H2− ion [3].
