New Measurement of the $1S-3S$ Transition Frequency of Hydrogen: Contribution to the Proton Charge Radius Puzzle

Résumé

We present a new measurement of the 1S-3S two-photon transition frequency of hydrogen, realized with a continuous-wave excitation laser at 205 nm on a room-temperature atomic beam, with a relative uncertainty of 9×10-13. The proton charge radius deduced from this measurement, rp=0.877(13)  fm, is in very good agreement with the current CODATA-recommended value. This result contributes to the ongoing search to solve the proton charge radius puzzle, which arose from a discrepancy between the CODATA value and a more precise determination of rp from muonic hydrogen spectroscopy.
