Abstract
The energy levels of hydrogen and deuterium atoms are calculated to provide frequencies for transitions between highly excited states with principal quantum number n up to 200. All known quantum electrodynamics and relativistic corrections have been included in the calculation. In some cases, contributions originally calculated for a few states have been extrapolated to highly excited states. The fundamental constants necessary for the calculation are taken from the 1998 CODATA least-squares adjustment. Evaluated uncertainties take into account uncertainties in the theoretical calculations, uncertainties in the fundamental constants, and covariances between the various contributions and input parameters.
