New Limits to the Drift of Fundamental Constants from Laboratory Measurements
M. Fischer, N. Kolachevsky, M. Zimmermann +17
We have remeasured the absolute - transition frequency in atomic hydrogen. A comparison with the result of the previous measurement performed in 1999 sets a l…

A Search for Variations of Fundamental Constants using Atomic Fountain Clocks
H. Marion, F. Pereira Dos Santos, M. Abgrall +12
Over five years we have compared the hyperfine frequencies of 133Cs and 87Rb atoms in their electronic ground state using several laser cooled 133Cs and 87Rb atomic fountains with…
