The g-factor of the electron bound in hydrogen-like ions

The experimental determination of the magnetic moment (g-factor) of the electron bound in hydrogen-like ions represents a clean test of Quantum Electrodynamics, because it is not very sensitive to nuclear structure effects. Experimental data on the g-factor of the bound electron are available only for the hydrogen atom and the He-4(+)-ion. In this paper we present the first result for the g-factor of hydrogen-like carbon (C-12(5+)). The experimental accuracy is high enough to verify the relativistic contribution to the g-factor on the 10(-3) level.
