Cover Story: The anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, ae, occupies a unique position among high-precision studies of physical quantities, in the sense that the precise measurement by a Penning trap is directly compared with the theoretical evaluation based on the renormalized quantum electrodynamics (QED) to high orders of perturbation expansion in the fine structure constant, α. At present, the contributions up to the a 4 term have been firmly established by numerical and analytic methods, and the a 5 contribution has been obtained through extensive numerical study. Together with the new value of a from atom interferometry measurements, uncertainty in experimental and theoretical values has been reduced to the level of 0.2 ppb. In this article, the standard model contributions to ae are summarized and the numerical calculation method of high-order QED terms is described with concrete examples. View this paper

Atomic mass measurements are essential for obtaining several of the fundamental constants. The most precise atomic mass measurements, at the 10−10 level of precision or better, employ measurements of cyclotron frequencies of single ions in Penning tr...

Neutral beam injection, for plasma heating, will supposedly be achieved, in ITER, by collisional detachment of a pre-accelerated D − beam. Collisional detachment, however, makes use of a D 2 -filled neutralisation chamber, which has se...

  • Marcelo F. Ciappina

1 March 2019

We analyze the influence of the coherence of the projectile’s beam in scattering phenomena. We focus our study in the ionization of He by C 6 + projectiles at 100 MeV/amu. We assess the influence of this effect by performing a Born...
