Description
In this talk, I will discuss a new measurement of the hydrogen 2S1/2-8D5/2 two-photon transition performed in our group, which produces additional tension within the global dataset of precision hydrogen spectroscopy. In addition, I will present new results where we load a metastable hydrogen beam into a moving optical lattice, which we then decelerate to control the motion of the atoms. This technique offers a robust means to slow atomic hydrogen with visible lasers, which could provide a platform for increased precision.
