Abstract

The authors report new constraints on the strength of a broad class of new physics interactions, obtained by combining the currently available spectroscopic data for atomic hydrogen with state-of-the-art QED calculations. They also discuss what still stronger constraints could be expected from extending modern cooling and trapping methods to this species and from extending the reach of high precision measurements to higher-lying Rydberg states
