Spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen How is the Rydberg constant determined ?
This article presents a review of the most recent theoretical and experimental results in hydrogen. We particularly emphasize the methods used to deduce the Rydberg constant R∞ and we consider the prospects for future improvements in the precision of R∞.

sequently, all the light absorbed in the bulb is contained in the parallel components of the four longer wave-length lines, which are the ones that have 3/2 normal triplet Zeeman patterns. This condition satisfies the requirements of the theory and the results of v. Keussler are in agreement with the prediction. No doubt in the above case the fact that the intensity of the anomalous line is pra...
متن کاملHigh resolution spectroscopy of the hydrogen atom - III. Wavelength comparison and Rydberg constant determination
2014 This paper is the last of a series giving a detailed description of our recent determination of the Rydberg constant. Here we carefully describe the wavelength comparison procedure. The wavelengths of the three two-photon transitions 2S-8D, 2S-10D, and 2S-12D in hydrogen and deuterium are compared to that of an I2-stabilized He-Ne laser which is the present best reference in the optical do...
متن کاملGeorg Raithel ( University of Michigan ) Circular - State Rydberg Atoms and the Proton Radius Puzzle
The Rydberg constant is of interest due to its relation to other fundamental constants and its role in calculations of atomic energy levels. Its current relative uncertainty stands at 5.9x10^-12 [1]. However, a large discrepancy involving the proton radius and the Rydberg constant has emerged in muonic hydrogen and deuterium (“proton radius puzzle” [2]). One concern expressed by the leading aut...
متن کاملHigher-Order Nuclear-Size Corrections in Atomic Hydrogen
Nuclear-size corrections of order (Zα)5 and (Zα)6 to the S-state levels of hydrogenic atoms are considered. These nuclear-elastic contributions are somewhat smaller than the polarizability (nuclear-inelastic) corrections for deuterium, but are of comparable or larger size for the hydrogen case. For deuterium the (attractive) nonrelativistic (Zα)5 correction to the 2S-1S transition is −0.49 kHz,...
