The passage around this formula
…of the original measurement, using a position-sensitive track detector to scan the standing-wave density directly above the mirror rather than only the transmitted flux, pinned down the characteristic length scale = 5.87 micrometres and reported the same Airy-zero ladder to several figures [ 2 ] . Feed that length scale and the lowest Airy zero into the formula above and the ground state comes out to 1.407 picoelectronvolts — a fantastically small number by nuclear or even atomic standards, corresponding…
