Abstract

We present a measurement of the 1S ? 2S transition frequency in atomic hydrogen by two-photon spectroscopy yielding f1S?2S = 2 466 061 413 187 035 (10) Hz corresponding to a fractional frequency uncertainty of 4.2×10 ^?15. The result presents a more than three times improvement on the previous best measurement.
