description

We have performed a laser microwave double resonance experiment on43Ca+ ions stored in a Paul ion trap. The ground state hfs splitting has been determined to Δν=3 225 608 286. 4(3) Hz. The value is corrected for small Zeeman, Stark and second order Doppler shifts as well as for light shift effects caused by the laserfields. The uncertainty is mainly determined by the errors of these corrections.
