Precision Measurement of the Hydrogen1S−2SFrequency via a 920-km Fiber Link

Abstract
We have measured the frequency of the extremely narrow 1S−2S two-photon transition in atomic hydrogen using a remote cesium fountain clock with the help of a 920 km stabilized optical fiber. With an improved detection method we obtain f1S−2S=2466 061 413 187 018 (11)  Hz with a relative uncertainty of 4.5×10−15, confirming our previous measurement obtained with a local cesium clock [C. G. Parthey et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 203001 (2011)]. Combining these results with older measurements, we constrain the linear combinations of Lorentz boost symmetry violation parameters c(TX)=(3.1±1.9)×10−11 and 0.92c(TY)+0.40c(TZ)=(2.6±5.3)×10−11 in the standard model extension framework [D. Colladay, V. A. Kostelecký, Phys. Rev. D. 58, 116002 (1998)].
