Determination of the Newtonian Gravitational Constant Using Atom Interferometry

open access: yes, 2008
We present a new measurement of the Newtonian gravitational constant G based on cold atom interferometry. Freely falling samples of laser-cooled rubidium atoms are used in a gravity gradiometer to probe the field generated by nearby source masses.

On estimating gravity anomalies from gradiometer data [PDF]

open access: yes
The Gravsat-gradiometer mission involves flying a gradiometer on a gravity satellite (Gravsat) which is in a low, polar, and circular orbit. Results are presented of a numerical simulation of the mission which demonstrates that, if the satellite is in a ...

Simulation of a lunar gradiometer mission [PDF]

open access: yes
A lunar gradiometer mission involves the mounting of a gradiometer on a satellite which is in a low, polar, and circular lunar orbit. The results of a numerical simulation of the mission is presented. It is shown that if the satellite is in a 50 km orbit,

Height unification using GOCE

open access: yesJournal of Geodetic Science, 2012
With the gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer (GOCE) (preferably combined with the gravity field and climate experiment (GRACE)) a new generation of geoid models will become available for use in height determination.

A spacecraft-borne gradiometer mission analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
Numerical simulations were performed to obtain the orbit- and attitude-determination requirements of a spacecraft-borne gradiometer mission. Results demonstrated that position determination of 300 meters in the along-track and cross-track directions and ...

Gravity Gradiometer Systems – Advances and Challenges

open access: yesASEG Extended Abstracts, 2007
Gravity gradiometry has been heralded as one of the top five developments in advancing airborne geophysics in the past decade. There are presently nine deployed gradiometer systems operating in various configurations (partial tensor and full tensor) on numerous platforms in support of global exploration activities.

Design of an Integrated MEMS Magnetic Gradiometer Rejecting Vibrations and Stray Fields

open access: yesIEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society
Magnetic sensors are often used near current-carrying wires or electrical motors generating significant magnetic interference. To mitigate the effects of these stray fields, the traditional design approach relies on a differential sensing scheme ...

Atom interferometry with the Sr optical clock transition

open access: yes, 2017
We report on the realization of a matter-wave interferometer based on single-photon interaction on the ultra-narrow optical clock transition of strontium atoms. We experimentally demonstrated its operation as a gravimeter and as a gravity gradiometer. No
