| Abstract: | Abstract—It has been revealed that the published results of measurements of the isotope shift of the ground state of even neon isotopes contain systematic errors. The errors are caused by the use of erroneous data regarding the absolute values of specific mass shifts of excited states and by the measurement errors of the isotope shifts themselves for transitions to the ground state. The isotope shift of the 2p54s[3/2]1 → 2p6(1S0) transition has been measured to be 2305 ± 20 MHz, the absolute specific mass shift of the 3p[3/2]2: (2р9) level has been determined to be 647 ± 10 MHz, and the isotope shift of the ground state has been found to be–3156 ± 30 MHz. |
