Fundamental Constants and Tests of Theory in Rydberg States of Hydrogenlike Ions
Fundamental Constants and Tests of Theory in Rydberg States of Hydrogenlike Ions
A comparison of precision frequency measurements to quantum electrodynamics (QED) predictions for Rydberg states of hydrogenlike ions can yield information on values of fundamental constants and test theory. With the results of a calculation of a key QED contribution reported here, the uncertainty in the theory of the energy levels …
