1S–2P transition frequencies

Sample spin polarization Antihydrogen fres(exp) (MHz) Hydrogen fres(th) (MHz) Difference fres(exp) − fres(th) (MHz)
1Scd→2P Single 2,466,051,659(62) 2,466,051,625 34
1Scd→2P Single 2,466,036,611(88) 2,466,036,642 −31
1Sd→2Pc− Double 2,466,051,189(76) 2,466,051,270 −81

The experimentally determined transition frequencies for antihydrogen fres(exp) (with 1σ errors in parentheses) are compared with the theoretically expected values for hydrogen fres(th) at a magnetic field of 1.0329 T. For the singly spin-polarized data, the centroid of the hyperfine states is given. The transition frequencies for hydrogen were calculated to a precision better than 1 MHz (Methods).
