Direct High-Precision Measurement of the g-Factor of a Single Antiproton Stored in a Cryogenic Penning Trap
We propose a direct high-precision measurement of the magnetic moment, or g-factor, of a single antiproton stored in a cryogenic Penning trap. Currently the most precise value of the magnetic moment of the antiproton is extracted from hyperfine spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium atoms, and known wi...

Sumario: | We propose a direct high-precision measurement of the magnetic moment, or g-factor, of a single antiproton stored in a cryogenic Penning trap. Currently the most precise value of the magnetic moment of the antiproton is extracted from hyperfine spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium atoms, and known with a relative precision of $10^{-3}$, only . With the experiment proposed in this Letter of Intent we aim at a measurement with a relative precision of $10^{-9}$ or better. |
