Complete two-loop correction to the bound-electron g factor

Atomic Physics 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

Within a systematic approach based on the dimensionally regularized nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics, we derive the complete result for the two-loop correction to order (α/π)2(Zα)4(\alpha/\pi)^2 (Z \alpha)^4 for the gg factor of an electron bound in an nSnS state of a hydrogenlike ion. The results obtained significantly improve the accuracy of the theoretical predictions for the hydrogenlike carbon and oxygen ions and influence the value of the electron mass inferred from gg factor measurements.
