CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2018

January 10, 2022
Author(s)
Eite Tiesinga, Peter J. Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry N. Taylor
We report the 2018 self-consistent values of constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data of the International Science Council (CODATA). The recommended values can also be found at physics.nist.gov

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2018

June 30, 2021
Author(s)
Eite Tiesinga, Peter Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry Taylor
We report the 2018 self-consistent values of constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data of the Interna- tional Science Council (CODATA). The recommended values can also be found at physics.nist.gov

An introduction to the new SI

December 20, 2016
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, Sandra Knotts, William D. Phillips
Plans are underway to redefine the International System of Units (SI) around 2018. The new SI specifies the values of certain physical constants to define units. This article explains the new SI in a way that could be used to present it to high-school

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2014

November 22, 2016
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry N. Taylor
This paper gives the 2014 self-consistent set of values of the constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA). These values are based on a least-squares adjustment that

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2014

September 26, 2016
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry N. Taylor
This paper gives the 2014 self-consistent set of values of the constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA). These values are based on a least-squares adjustment that

Dimensionless units in the SI

June 1, 2015
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, William D. Phillips
The International System of Units (SI) is supposed to be coherent. That is, when a combination of units is replaced by an equivalent unit, there is no additional numerical factor. Here we consider dimensionless units as defined in the SI, e.g. angular

Tests of Theory in Rydberg States of One-electron Ions

July 1, 2014
Author(s)
Joseph N. Tan, Peter J. Mohr
Comparison of optical frequency measurements to predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED) for Rydberg states of one-electron ions can test theory and allow new determinations of constants of nature to be made. Simplifications in the QED theory of high

Coordinate-space approach to vacuum polarization

April 28, 2014
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, P Indelicatio, J. Sapirstein
The vacuum-polarization correction for bound electrons or muons is examined. The objective is to formulate a framework for calculating the correction from bound-state quantum electrodynamics entirely in coordinate space, including the Uehling potential

Bound-state field theory approach to proton structure effects in muonic hydrogen

May 17, 2013
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, J Griffith, J. Sapirstein
A bound-state field theory approach to muonic hydrogen is set up using a variant of the Furry representation in which the lowest-order Hamiltonian describes a muon in the presence of a point Coulomb field, but the origin of the binding field is taken to be

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2010

March 1, 2012
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, Barry N. Taylor, David B. Newell
This paper give the 2010 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) for international use. The 2010 adjustment takes into

The New SI: The Role of CODATA

December 1, 2011
Author(s)
David B. Newell, Peter J. Mohr, Barry N. Taylor
The mission of the International Council for Science : Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA ) is to strengthen international science for the benefit of society by promoting improved scientific and technical data management and use. One of
