Helium atom precision measurements and calculations have a history of nearly a century. In the 1960s, theorists discovered that the fine-structure split (23P0-23P2) of the 23P energy level of ...

The helium atoms are then ionized by the absorption of a single ultraviolet photon, the energy of which is tuned such that it is only just enough to ionize the helium – 99.9% of the photon’s energy is ...

Muonic helium-3 is a special form of helium in which the atom's two electrons are replaced by a single, much heavier muon. Yesterday, the results have been published in the journal Science .
