Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 091801 (2002) [4 pages]Recoil Correction to the Bound-Electron g Factor in H-Like Atoms to All Orders in αZReceived 18 October 2001; published 11 February 2002 The nuclear-recoil correction to the bound-electron g factor in H-like atoms is calculated to first order in m/M and to all orders in αZ. The calculation is performed in the range Z = 1–100. A large contribution of terms of order (αZ)5 and higher is found. Even for hydrogen, the higher-order correction exceeds the (αZ)4 term, while for uranium it is above the leading (αZ)2 correction. As a result, one of the main sources of the theoretical uncertainty for the bound-electron g factor is eliminated. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
