Abstract

The hadronic vacuum polarization correction to the gg factor of a bound electron is investigated theoretically. An effective hadronic Uehling potential obtained from measured cross sections of ee+e^- e^+ annihilation into hadrons is employed to calculate gg factor corrections for low-lying hydrogenic levels. Analytical Dirac-Coulomb wave functions, as well as bound wave functions accounting for the finite nuclear radius are used. Closed formulas for the gg factor shift in case of a point-like nucleus are derived. In heavy ions, such effects are found to be much larger than for the free-electron gg factor.
