Abstract

We have remeasured the absolute 1S-2S transition frequency H in atomic hydrogen. A comparison with the result of the previous measurement performed in 1999 sets a limit of (–29±57) Hz for the drift of H with respect to the ground state hyperfine splitting Cs in 133Cs. Combining this result with the recently published optical transition frequency in 199Hg+ against Cs and a microwave 87Rb and 133Cs clock comparison, we deduce separate limits on /= (–0.9±2.9)×10–15 yr–1 and the fractional time variation of the ratio of Rb and Cs nuclear magnetic moments µRb/µCs equal to (–0.5±1.7)×10–15 yr–1. The latter provides information on the temporal behavior of the constant of strong interaction.
