Abstract
We use atomic spectra to extend pure Coulomb's law tests to larger masses. We interpret these results in terms of constraints for hidden sector photons. With existing data the bounds for hidden photons are not improved. However we find that our atomic spectra bounds are an especially clean and model-independent complement to existing ones from other methods. We also show that data from future tests of true muonium and muonic atoms could produce atomic spectra bounds which probe untested parameter space.
