Abstract

We report a measurement of the cold collision frequency shift in atomic hydrogen gas adsorbed on the surface of superfluid 4He at T<=90 mK. Using two-photon electron and nuclear magnetic resonance in 4.6 T field we separate the resonance line shifts due to the dipolar and exchange interactions, both proportional to surface density sigma. We find the clock shift Delta vc = -1.0(1)x10-7 Hz cm-2 x sigma, which is about 100 times smaller than the value predicted by the mean field theory and known scattering lengths in the 3D case.
