In atomic clock. Until the 1990s the cesium beam atomic clock was the most accurate standard of atomic time and frequency. The principle underlying the cesium clock is that all atoms of cesium-133 are identical and, when they absorb or release energy, produce radiation of exactly the same frequency, which makes the…

A look at one of the original HP 5061A Cesium Beam atomic clock frequency standards used in the "flying clocks" experiment in the 1960's, that showed (not definitely at the time) that time dilation as part of Einstein's relatively theory was correct. The effect was not confirmed until a more precise run in 1971, again with the same ...

An outstanding example is the cesium-beam frequency standard, one of several types of "atomic clock" developed in the postwar years. This is the experimental instrument built under the supervision of Jerrold Zacharias at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1954. It showed that the atomic beam principle was feasible as a technique for ...

Cesium 133 is the element most commonly chosen for atomic clocks. To turn the cesium atomic resonance into an atomic clock, it is necessary to measure one of its transition or resonant frequencies accurately. This is normally done by locking a crystal oscillator to …

Abstract. In a recent paper entitled "The Millman Effect in Cesium Beam Atomic Frequency Standards" ( Mungall A G 1976 Metrologia 12 151) a systematic frequency shift was observed and explained in terms of the Millman effect. The purpose of this note is to suggest that an alternative explanation be sought for the observed results.

Abstract We have performed a 2D blue detuned Sisyphus collimation of a cesium beam. Compared to a red detuned Doppler transverse molasses cooling, the setup was found very advantageous because of its faster cooling time allowing a short ( $${1}~text {cm}$$ 1 cm ) cooling length and thus finally a denser atomic beam. A …

A beam source is proposed for the production of an intense cold cesium atomic beam that can be used in cesium beam atomic clocks. The source is based on a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D-MOT), but introduces hollow cooling and pushing lights in the axial direction to create a 2D +-MOT, which separates the cooling and …

3.1 The Control of Cesium Oven. Heating cesium oven makes cesium atom gas emit through the collimator to form atomic beam. The intensity and velocity of the beam are directly controlled by the temperature of cesium oven. The intensity of atomic beam is the key factor affecting the size of Ramsey signal of atomic clock.

Then the signal-to- noise ratio for a 1-Hz noise bandwidth at the first-dynode input is.

A systematic frequency shift which reverses sign with either C field or beam reversal and which can be interpreted as the consequence of the Millman effect has been found in the new NRC cesium beam clock, CsV. A method of calculating the resonance asymmetry resulting from this effect and the dependence on the velocity distribution and exciting …

On the left of Fig. 2 is a cesium oven from which a beam of cesium atoms emerges when the oven is heated. This beam of cesium atoms is collimated and directed through a Stern-Gerlach magnet (the a-magnet in Fig. 2), that deflects and focuses those cesium atoms in the beam that are in the desired state through a hole in the magnetic shield, so ...

The 5071A is the most accurate commercial atomic clock available. It has an accuracy of less than 5E−13 under all environmental conditions and no deterministic frequency drift. The capabilities and reliability of the 5071A make it the single largest contributor of cesium clocks—more than half of all contributing clocks—to Coordinated ...
