Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4694–4696 (1999)Past Electron-Positron g-2 Experiments Yielded Sharpest Bound on CPT Violation for Point ParticlesReceived 2 August 1999; published in the issue dated 6 December 1999 In our experiments on a single e- and e+ we measured the cyclotron and spin-cyclotron difference frequencies ωc± and ωa± = ωs±-ωc± and ratios a± = ωa±/ωc± at ωc/2π≃141GHz and e- values also at ωc/2π≃164GHz. Here we do extract from these data a new figure of merit for violation of CPT symmetry similar to |mKaon-mAntikaon|/mKaon≲10-18 for the K mesons composed of two quarks. That expression compares experimental relativistic mass energies of particle states before and after the C,P,T operations have transformed particle into antiparticle. The figure for our noncomposite leptons was even smaller: |ħ(ωa-/2)-ħ(ωa+/2)|/m0c2≲12×10-22. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
