Precision spectroscopy in neutral beryllium-9

ORAL

Abstract

Four-electron systems are the current testing ground for many advanced theoretical models and also tests of quantum electrodynamics.~ In this talk, we will present our current progress on updated experimental measurements for a variety of energy levels in neutral beryllium-9, compare them to current theoretical predictions, and motivate future theoretical calculations to compare to these experimental results.
