%0 Journal Article %T The g Factor of a Bound Electron in a Hydrogen-Like Atom %A Savely G. Karshenboim %J Physics %D 2000 %I arXiv %X Recently, a precise measurement on the bound electron g factor in hydrogen-like carbon was performed [1]. We consider the present status of the theory of the g factor of an electron bound in a hydrogen-like atom and discuss new opportunities and possible applications of the recent experiment. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0008227v1
