Resumo

We have measured the ground-state $g$ factor of boronlike argon ${^{40}\mathrm{Ar}}^{13+}$ with a fractional uncertainty of $1.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}9}$ with a single ion in the newly developed Alphatrap double Penning-trap setup. The value of $g=0.663\text{ }648\text{ }455\text{ }32(93)$ obtained here is in agreement with our theoretical prediction of 0.663 648 12(58). The latter is obtained accounting for quantum electrodynamics, electron correlation, and nuclear effects within the state-of-the-art theoretical methods. Our experimental result distinguishes between existing predictions that are in disagreement, and lays the foundations for an independent determination of the fine-structure constant.
