Abstract
We report recent advances in absolute x-ray wavelength metrology in the context of producing modern standard reference data. Primary x-ray wavelength standards are produced today using diffraction spectrometers using crystal optics arranged to be operated in dispersive and non-dispersive geometries, giving natural-line-width limited profiles with high resolution and accuracy. With current developments, measurement results can be made traceable to the Système internationale definition of the meter by using diffraction crystals that have absolute lattice-spacing provenance through x-ray-optical interferometry. Recent advances in goniometry, innovation of electronic x-ray area detectors, and new in situ alignment and measurement methods now permit robust measurement and quantification of previously-elusive systematic uncertainties. This capability supports infrastructures like the NIST Standard Reference Data programs and the International Initiative on X-ray Fundamental Parameters and their contributions to science and industry. Such data projects are further served by employing complementary wavelength-and energy-dispersive spectroscopic techniques. This combination can provide, among other things, new tabulations of less-intense x-ray lines that need to be identified in x-ray fluorescence investigation of uncharacterized analytes. After delineating the traceability chain for primary x-ray wavelength standards, and NIST efforts to produce standard reference data and materials in particular, this paper posits the new opportunities for x-ray reference data tabulation that modern methods now afford.

Abstract
A characterization of the Cu Kα1,2 spectrum is presented, including the 2p satellite line, Kα3,4, the details of which are robust enough to be transferable to other experiments. This is a step in the renewed attempts to resolve inconsistencies in characteristic X-ray spectra between theory, experiment and alternative experimental geometries. The spectrum was measured using a rotating anode, monolithic Si channel-cut double-crystal monochromator and backgammon detector. Three alternative approaches fitted five Voigt profiles to the data: a residual analysis approach; a peak-by-peak fit; and a simultaneous constrained method. The robustness of the fit is displayed across three spectra obtained with different instrumental broadening. Spectra were not well fitted by transfer of any of three prior characterizations from the literature. Integrated intensities, line widths and centroids are compared with previous empirical fits. The novel experimental setup provides insight into the portability of spectral characterizations of X-ray spectra. From the parameterization, an estimated 3d shake probability of 18% and a 2p shake probability of 0.5% are reported.

Abstract
We have measured the forbidden 2 (3)S(1)→2 (1)P(1) transition at 887 nm in a quantum degenerate gas of metastable (4)He atoms confined in an optical dipole trap. The determined transition frequency is 338 133 594.4 (0.5) MHz, from which we obtain an ionization energy of the 2 (1)P(1) state of 814 709 148.6 (0.5) MHz. This ionization energy is in disagreement by >3σ with the most accurate quantum electrodynamics calculations available. Our measurements also provide a new determination of the lifetime of the 2 (1)P(1) state of 0.551 (0.004)(stat) ((-0.000)(+0.013))(syst) ns, which is the most accurate determination to date and in excellent agreement with theory.
