Abstract

The measurement and calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron currently provides the most stringent test of QED. In the past, one of the limitations in the experiment has been the small inhomogeneous component of the magnetic field which has been used to detect the magnet resonances of the trapped electron. We have developed a technique which allows us to reduce this inhomogeneous field by as much as two orders of magnitude and have demonstrated the technique with a factor of fifteen reduction, virtually eliminating the broadening of the magnetic lines in our “geonium atom”.
