Abstract
In the chaotic region the spectra of hydrogen are shown to display universality in the response of the energy levels to magnetic field. Several autocorrelation functions are measured and shown to be in close agreement with recent theoretical predictions. These results represent the first experimental verification of universality beyond distributions of level spacings.Keywords
