The Lyman [alpha] transitions of hydrogenlike uranium associated with electron capture were measured in collisions of stored bare U[sup 92+] ions with gaseous targets at the storage ring ESR. By applying x-ray--particle coincidence techniques the ground-state transition energies in the rest frame could be determined with a precision of about 600 ppm. The experimental result is in excellent agreement with the theroretical prediction for the ground-state Lamb shift in hydrogenlike uranium and is already sensitive to the 2[ital s] Lamb shift.
