Abstract
We perform high-resolution spectroscopy of the interval in all stable even isotopes of (, 42, 44, 46, and 48) with an accuracy of using direct frequency-comb Raman spectroscopy. Combining these data with isotope shift measurements of the transition, we carry out a King plot analysis with unprecedented sensitivity to coupling between electrons and neutrons by bosons beyond the standard model. Furthermore, we estimate the sensitivity to such bosons from equivalent spectroscopy in and . Finally, the data yield isotope shifts of the transition at 10 parts per billion through combination with recent data of Knollmann, Patel, and Doret [Phys. Rev. A 100, 022514 (2019)].
