Precision spectroscopy in neutral beryllium-9

POSTER

Abstract

We report on spectroscopic measurement progress for a variety of states in neutral beryllium-9. We are exploring resonantly-enhanced two-photon spectroscopy for improved absolute frequency determination of the $2s2p\,^1P_1$ and $2s3d\,^1D_2$ states. Progress toward combination optical / ionization spectroscopy for improved measurement of the absolute frequency of the $2s2p\,^3P_1$ state and the ionization threshold will also be presented.
