MICROSCOPE: systematic errors

Manuel Rodrigues, Pierre Touboul1, Gilles Metris +19

The MICROSCOPE mission aims to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) in orbit with an unprecedented precision of 10 on the Eötvös parameter thanks to electrostatic acce…

Atom interferometry using - Raman transitions between and

Jeanne Bernard, Yannick Bidel, Malo Cadoret +6

We report on the experimental demonstration of a horizontal accelerometer based on atom interferometry using counterpropagative Raman transitions between the states …

A cost-effective nonlinear extremum-preserving finite volume scheme for highly anisotropic diffusion on Cartesian grids, with application to radiation belt dynamics

Nour Dahmen, Jerome Droniou, Francois Rogier

We construct a new nonlinear finite volume (FV) scheme for highly anisotropic diffusion equations, that satisfies the discrete minimum-maximum principle. The construction relies on…

MICROSCOPE instrument in-flight characterization

Ratana Chhun, Emilie Hardy, Manuel Rodrigues +11

Since the MICROSCOPE instrument aims to measure accelerations as low as a few 10\,m\,s and cannot operate on ground, it was obvious to have a large time dedicated to…

MICROSCOPE's constraint on a short-range fifth force

Joel Bergé, Martin Pernot-Borràs, Jean-Philippe Uzan +5

The MICROSCOPE experiment was designed to test the weak equivalence principle in space, by comparing the low-frequency dynamics of cylindrical "free-falling" test masses controlled…
