Trap-assisted precision spectroscopy of highly charged ions

Abstract: Confinement of ions in traps is most often motivated by the extended times available for investigations and the possibility to cool the trapped ions' motions nearly to rest, thus avoiding various kinds of disturbances, including Doppler shifts and line broadening. However, specific properties of the confinement itself acting upon the trapped particles may also be used for studies of intrinsic ion properties. Here, we discuss a set of possibilities for high-precision spectroscopy of forbidden transitions in hig… Show more

“…In particular, measurements of the g factor of H-like and Li-like calcium and silicon are currently in progress by the Mainz-GSI collaboration [5]. An extension of these studies to high-Z H-like, Li-like, and B-like systems planned in the framework of the HITRAP project [6,7] will provide a stringent test of the bound-state QED in the strong electric field of the nucleus. Moreover, investigations of the g factor of heavy B-like ions can lead to an independent determination of the fine structure constant [8].…”

“…[42][43][44] and references therein), resulted in a new determination of the electron mass [45]. Extentions of these investigations to higher-Z systems have great future prospects [46]. Here we would like to mention a possibility for an independent determination of the fine structure constant α.…”

“…An extension of these experiments to high-Z systems anticipated in the framework of the HITRAP project [38,56] will provide a stringent test of bound-state QED in the strong electric field of the nucleus. The accuracy of theoretical values for the g factor of high-Z H-like ions is presently limited by nuclear effects.…”
