Description
This article discusses our measurement of the Lamb shift in heliumlike uranium and outlines future tests of QED using few-electron very high atomic number (Z) ions. Our recently reported Lamb shift value of 70.4 (8.3)eV for the one-electron Lamb shift in uranium is in agreement with the theoretical value of 75.3 (0.4)eV. The experimental value was extracted from a beam-foil time-of-flight measurement of the 54.4 (3.4)ps lifetime of the 1s2p1/23P0 state of helium-like uranium. (orig.)
