Measurement of the hyperfine sturcture of 22P/sub 1/2/ state in hydrogen

  • 1. Lyman Laboratory, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

Description

The separated-oscillatory-field technique of subnatural-linewidth rf spectroscopy has been used to completely resolve the hyperfine structure of the 2²P_1/2 state of hydrogen. The three-component 2²S_1/2-2²P_1/2 resonance observed in zero magnetic field was fitted by a superposition of numerically obtained line profiles to determine the hyperfine spliting of the 2²P_1/2 state. The result is 59.22(14) MHz.
