Anomalous magnetic moment of a bound electron
Abstract
We study binding corrections to the gyromagnetic factor ge of an electron in hydrogen-like ions. We argue that the leading order binding effects in radiative corrections Delta grad are universal to all orders in alpha/pi and the complete result reads Delta grad = (gfree - 2) [1+(Z alpha)2/6] + O[alpha/pi (Zalpha)4]. The theoretical uncertainty in the prediction for the experimentally interesting carbon ion is decreased by a factor of about 3.
