Abstract

A method has been developed and applied for the determination of the electronic g-factor of single hydrogen-like ions stored in a Penning trap. The method is based on mode coupling of the ion trapping motions and is conceptionally advantageous as compared to previously used methods. It has been applied to hydrogen-like oxygen 16O7+ and yields a value for the gJ-factor which is in agreement with previously determined values. Experimental requirements and possibilities of the new method are discussed.
