OBSERVATION OF THE 1S-2S TRANSITION IN ATOMIC-HYDROGEN IN AN ATOMIC-BEAM

The authors report the observation of the 1S-2S two-photon transition in atomic hydrogen in an atomic beam, excited by light from a narrow-band continuous-wave laser. The excitation takes place in a collision-free environment and detection of the resonance is carried out by Stark-quenching the metas...
