“…Akhiezer and Berestetskii [24] concluded that the term is of the order of magnitude of the fluctuations of the fields, which causes electron displacement. Such vacuum fluctuations, together with the zitterbewegung [19] and the fluctuations of the rest energy [22,23], are probable origins of the energy that manifests as the anomalous part of the electron orbital magnetic moment. It should be noted that the zero-point fluctuations do not vanish [25], even for constant electromagnetic fields.…”

Using standard Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), we have calculated the anomaly in the electron orbital g-factor, which was in reasonable agreement with experimental data. For second-order corrections, the anomaly in the orbital g-factor (gL – 1) is of the order α/3π, while for approximations of the same order, the well-known anomaly in the electron spin g-factor gS-2/2=α/2π, where α = 1/137 is the structure constant. Unlike the spin-g anomaly, the orbital-g anomaly is not intrinsic, but depends on the atomic state, and on Z, the atomic mass. Thus, the orbital anomaly is actually (α/3π)D, where D includes the effect of the magnetic field and/or the atomic properties. Hence, we have shown that radiative interactions, which are the sources of the spin-g anomaly, also produce an orbital anomaly. It is physically reasonable to expect that radiative interactions that modify many physical properties of electrons in electromagnetic fields will also modify the orbital magnetic moment of the electron.

“…A different but related development comes from an extension of the Dirac theory which incorporates within, the dynamical fluctuation of the rest energy. As a consequence of the non-conservation of the rest mass, the rest energy of the electron has been shown to vary rapidly in time [13], and the Dirac equation has been extended by the addition of the time-dependent part of the rest energy to the Dirac Hamiltonian [14]. While this extension does not make any explicit assumption concerning the nature or structure of the electron, the interpretation of the generalized equation indicates the presence of a momentum/spin-dependent interaction which modifies electron properties [14].…”

Deviations from the exact value 1, of the electron orbital g-factor g L , are determined from the measured g J ratios of some states of the noble gas atoms He, Ne and Ar. The calculated values are compared with those previously found from the ratio of the Lande g-factors measured on the atoms of In, Ga and Na. The anomalies obtained from some of the rare gas atoms are, at least, one order of magnitude higher, in absolute value, than those from the one-valence-electron atoms. Configuration interactions and perturbations are considered for the atomic states analyzed and are found to be negligible. Thus, the electron’s orbital g-factor appears significantly anomalous. The implications for QED and the structure of the electron are discussed.
