For the high-precision measurement of the magnetic moment of the electron bound in highly-charged calcium ions [1] extremely sensitive detection electronics are needed. The cryogenic amplifier systems used in former experiments [2] was shown to limit the accessible measurement accuracy for the g-factor by raising the necessity to increase the ion temperature to ∼200 K. Therefore, a novel cryogenic ultra low noise amplifier was developed, realizing previously unmatched noise performance and detection sensitivity for the axial motion of medium-heavy ions in Penning traps. The noise performance especially in the interesting range from 100 kHz - 1 MHz and the negligible feedback even on tank circuits with very high quality factors will allow for a considerably decreased axial ion temperature and thus for an improved measurement accuracy. Exploiting the extremely low noise temperature (<1K) of the amplifier, ion temperatures far below the trap ambient temperature of 4.2 K might become accessible. The design and setup of the amplifier system will be presented and first results will be shown.
