QED theory of the nuclear recoil effect on the atomic g factor -: art. no. 052104

The quantum electrodynamic theory of the nuclear recoil effect on the atomic g factor to all orders in alphaZ and to first order in m/M is formulated. The complete alphaZ-dependence formula for the recoil correction to the bound-electron g factor in a hydrogenlike atom is derived. This formula is used to calculate the recoil correction to the bound-electron g factor in the order (alphaZ)(2)m/M for an arbitrary state of a hydrogenlike atom.
