Remeasurement of the Rydberg constant

Abstract
We report a remeasurement of the Rydberg constant via a single-photon determination of the Balmer-α wavelength. The new value reflects the redefinition of the meter, a reexamination of corrections, and improvements of the experimental apparatus. The result is R=109737.31569(7) cm1, where c=299792458 m/s by definition. This result does not significantly disagree with the preceding measurement by Amin et al., significantly disagrees with the measurement by Hildum et al., and agrees very well with a recent measurement by Biraben and Julien.
