Precision measurement of the ionization energy of Cs I [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We present absolute-frequency measurements for the transitions from the 6s1/2 ground state of Cs133 to np1/2 and np3/2 Rydberg states. The transition frequencies are determined by one-photon UV spectroscopy in ultracold samples of Cs atoms using a narrow-band laser system referenced to a frequency comb. From a global fit of the ionization energy EI and the quantum defects of the two series we determine an improved value of EI/hc=31406.4677325(14)cm−1 for the ionization energy of Cs with a relative uncertainty of 5×10−11. We also report improved values for the quantum defects of the np1/2, np3/2, ns1/2, and nd5/2 series.
