Abstract
Using novel metallic magnetic calorimeter detectors at the CRYRING@ESR, we recorded x-ray spectra of stored and electron cooled heliumlike uranium (U90+) with an unmatched spectral resolution of close to 90 eV. This allowed for an accurate determination of the energies of all four components of the Kα transitions in U90+. We find good agreement with state-of-the-art bound-state QED calculations for the strong-field regime. Our results do not support any systematic deviation between experiment and theory in heliumlike systems, the presence of which was subject of intense debates in recent years.
