We have performed hyperfine spectroscopy of two transitions in ground-state deuterium and searched for violations of $CPT$ and Lorentz symmetry that would manifest as sidereal variations of the observed transition frequencies. Several nonrelativistic proton coefficients of the Standard-Model extensi… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 031802] Published Tue Jul 14, 2026
