Abstract

We describe an extension of the Michigan $g$ -factor work that permits measurement of the $g - 2$ precession frequency of free leptons by a resonance technique. Preliminary results with electrons (accurate to about 100 ppm in the anomaly) indicate that the technique may be of use in various future experiments.
