Abstract

The scalar Stark shift of the 254-nm intercombination

6^{1} S_{0} \to 6^{3} P_{1}

line in Hg was measured using a Doppler-shift frequency calibration technique. It is equal to

- 3.32 \pm 0.06

kHz / (k V / c m)^{2} .

This measurement can be used to test more accurate calculations of Hg atomic wave functions.
