Description
We observed spin-flips with a single proton for the first time and measured the particle’s magnetic moment with a relative precision of 8.9e-6. The developed techniques can be directly transferred to measure the magnetic moment of the antiproton, which can be improved by more than a factor of 100. By application of the so-called double Penning trap technique, we finally aim at a measurement with a relative precision of 1e-9, and thus, a millionfold improvement of the antiproton’s magnetic moment.
In my talk I will present the current status of the experiment and describe our activities towards a high precision measurement of the magnetic moment of the antiproton.
