Precision spectroscopy of a charged particle in an imperfect Penning trap
Abstract
The phenomenal accuracies achieved for the spectroscopy of single charged particles suspended in Penning traps has prompted this study of the imperfect Penning trap. The principal result is a new prescription for the cyclotron frequency in terms of the observable eigenfrequencies of the imperfect trap. The new prescription is completely insensitive to a misalignment of the magnetic field direction with the axis of the Penning electrodes, and it is also insensitive to the most significant imperfections in the electrostatic potential. These systematic effects can therefore be completely circumvented in measurements of the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and positron, and also in experiments on protons and heavier ions where the effects are much larger.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
