A common way to search for physics beyond the standard model, is the investigation of quantities that can be both measured and calculated to a very high precision. One of these quantities is the isotope shift ratio of two transitions. As a function of the number of nucleons A this ratio results in the so-called King Plot. In first order of the electron-nucleus mass ratio (me/MA) the King Plot is strictly linear. Modern spectroscopy, however, is able to measure isotope shifts up to a precision, where higher order effects need consideration [1]. These effects manifest as nonlinearities in the King Plot. In this contribution we will discuss the quadratic mass shift that yields the dominating second-order isotope shift in light atoms and ions. Our calculations show that this shift can cause deviations from a linear King Plot up to several kHz. Moreover we use our theory to investigate King Plot nonlinearities introduced by a speculated new light boson and use existing measurements to restrict the properties of this particle [2].
