Abstract
We present a new experimental value for the magnetic moment of the electron bound in hydrogenlike carbon (12C5+): g exp = 2.001 041 596 (5). The experiment was carried out on a single 12C5+ ion stored in a Penning trap. The high accuracy was made possible by spatially separating the induction of spin flips and the analysis of the spin direction. Experiment and theory test the bound-state QED contributions to the gJ factor of a bound electron to a precision of 1%. We discuss also implications of the experiment on the knowledge of the electron mass.
