Abstract: Specific modifications of the usual canonical commutation relations between position and momentum operators have been proposed in the literature in order to implement the idea of the existence of a minimal observable length. Here, we study a consequence of this proposal in relativistic quantum mechanics by solving in the momentum space representation the Klein-Gordon oscillator in arbitrary dimensions. The exact bound states spectrum and the
corresponding momentum space wave function are obtained. Following
Chang et al. (Phys. Rev. D 65 (2002) 125027), we discuss constraint that can be placed on the minimal length by measuring the energy levels of an
electron in a penning trap.

Key words: Klein-Gordon oscillator, minimal length, energy spectrum
