利用原子干涉仪测量重力加速度

THE APPLICATION OF ATOM INTERFEROMETER TO THE MEASUREMENT OF GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION

介绍并评论了用原子干涉仪测量地球重力加速度的原理、实验装置和观测结果。这种新方法是由诺贝尔物理学奖获得者、美籍华裔物理学家、美国斯坦福大学朱棣文教授、M .Kasevich和A .Peters等研究开发成功的 ,分辨率达到 10 -1 0 。此外 ,还讨论了在地球物理学方面的应用以及相关的问题。

This paper has described and reviewed the pinciples,expermental set up and observational results of applying atom interferometer to measuring the earth's gravitational acceleration.This method was developed by Nobelist Steven Chu,M.Kaservich,A.Peters et al.,who demonstrated a resolution of 10 -10 .The application of this technique to geophysics and the related problems are also discussed.
