Accurate Fourier-transform spectroscopic absorption measurements of vacuum ultraviolet transitions in atomic nitrogen and carbon were performed at the Soleil synchrotron. For 14N, transitions from the 2s22p34S3/2 ground state and from the 2s22p32P and 2D metastable states were determined in the 95–124 nm range at an accuracy of 0.025cm−1. The combination of these results with data from previous precision laser experiments in the vacuum ultraviolet range reveals an overall and consistent offset of −0.04 cm−1 from values reported in the NIST database. The splittings of the 2s22p34S3/2 – 2s2p44PJ transitions are well-resolved for 14N and 15N and the isotope shifts determined. While excitation of a 2p valence electron yields very small isotope shifts, excitation of a 2s core electron results in large isotope shifts, in agreement with theoretical predictions. For carbon, six transitions from the ground 2s22p23PJ and 2s22p3s3PJ excited states at 165 nm are measured for both 12C and 13C isotopes.
