The Electron Mass and Calcium Isotope Shifts
High-Precision Measurements of Bound-Electron g-Factors of Highly Charged Ions
Language: English
Release Date: January 3, 2017
This thesis presents the first isotope-shift measurement of bound-electron g-factors of highly charged ions and determines the most precise value of the electron mass in atomic mass units, which exceeds the value in the literature by a factor of 13. As the lightest fundamental massive particle, the...
