Abstract
Constraints on a spin-independent interaction by the exchange of a neutral light boson are derived from precision data on the electron anomalous magnetic moment and from atomic spectroscopy of hydrogen and deuterium atoms. The mass range from 1\,\,eV/c2 to 1\,\,MeV/c2 is studied, and the effective coupling constant $\alpha${}$'${} is allowed below the level of 10-11\char21{}10-13 depending on the value of the boson mass. The mass range corresponds to the Yukawa radius from 0.0002~nm to 20~nm, which covers the distances far above and far below the Bohr radius of the hydrogen atom.
