Abstract

A separated oscillatory field technique has been used in conjunction with a fast hydrogen beam to narrow the Lamb shift resonance in hydrogen, n = 3 and to make a precision measurement of this interval. The final result isS( H, n = 3) = (314.80 ± 0.052) MHz.

Stark mixing signals are used to measure the fine structure splittings S-D of n = 3 on H. The results are 4013.8 ± 0.8 MHz for the interval 3²D_$32$-3²S_$12$ and 2929.9 ± 0.8 MHz for the interval 3²D_$32$-3²S _$12$, both are agreement with the theory. Taking into account the already known values for 3²S_$12$–3²P_$12$ (experimental) and 3²P_$32$-3²P_$12$ (theoretical), a value of (5.0 ± 0.9) MHz is deduced for the interval 3²P_$32$-3²D_$32$.
