Systematic errors in high-precision gravity measurements by light-pulse atom interferometry on the ground and in space

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The paper points out systematic errors in precision measurements of $g$ related to the fact that the interferometer only makes three position measurements per drop. In dual atom interferometers designed to test the universality of free fall on different atom species these errors are more noticeable.
