The helion charge radius from laser spectroscopy of muonic helium-3 ions

The CREMA Collaboration, Karsten Schuhmann, Luis M. P. Fernandes +37

Hydrogen-like light muonic ions, in which one negative muon replaces all the electrons, are extremely sensitive probes of nuclear structure, because the large muon mass increases t…

1S-3S cw spectroscopy of hydrogen/deuterium atom

Pauline Yzombard, Simon Thomas, Lucile Julien +2

We study the 1S-3S two-photon transition of hydrogen in a thermal atomic beam, using a homemade cw laser source at 205 nm. The experimental method is described, leading in 2017 to…

High-Resolution Hydrogen Spectroscopy and the Proton Radius Puzzle

Simon Thomas, Hélène Fleurbaey, Sandrine Galtier +3

High resolution spectroscopy of the hydrogen atom takes on particular importance in the new SI, as it allows to accurately determine fundamental constants, such as the Rydberg cons…

New measurement of the transition frequency of hydrogen: contribution to the proton charge radius puzzle

Hélène Fleurbaey, Sandrine Galtier, Simon Thomas +6

We present a new measurement of the two-photon transition frequency of hydrogen, realized with a continuous-wave excitation laser at 205 nm on a room-temperature atomic bea…

Deuteron charge radius and Rydberg constant from spectroscopy data in atomic deuterium

Randolf Pohl, François Nez, Thomas Udem +11

We give a pedagogical description of the method to extract the charge radii and Rydberg constant from laser spectroscopy in regular hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) atoms, that is pa…

Improved X-ray detection and particle identification with avalanche photodiodes

Marc Diepold, Luis M. P. Fernandes, Jorge Machado +36

Avalanche photodiodes are commonly used as detectors for low energy x-rays. In this work we report on a fitting technique used to account for different detector responses resulting…
