- Abstract
- The dissociation energy (D$_0$) of ortho H$_2$ is a benchmark value in quantum chemistry, with recent QED calculations now approaching accuracies achievable in simple atoms. A precision measurement of the GK-X molecular transition, in combination with other precision measurements (see also part two), provides an improved value for D$_0$.$[1,2]$ The GK-X transition is excited through Doppler-free two-photon spectroscopy using 179-nm radiation, based on frequency up-conversion using a special KBBF crystal. The optical frequency of the fundamental (716 nm), which is the output of a narrowband pulsed Ti:Sa laser system, is locked to a frequency comb. This enables accuracies at the sub-MHz level, leading to an order-of-magnitude improvement for D$_0$ to the 10$^{-9}$ level of accuracy. The comparison of this accurate experimental result with the best calculations may provide a test of the Standard Model of Physics.$[3]$\\ \\ $[1]$ D. Sprecher, Ch. Jungen, W. Ubachs and F.
