From crystal to crystal comparison, thed220 lattice spacing in PERFX and WASO silicon crystals used in the only two existing absolute measurements have been found to be equal within ±2×10−7d220. This demonstrates that generic variabilities of the two crystals account only for a small part of the 1.8×10−6d220 difference in the two absolute measurements. In a new series of 336 single measurements, ourd220 value reported recently has been confirmed within ±2×10−8d220. From these results we derive…
