Atomic clocks: new prospects in metrology and geodesy
arXiv:1308.6766
Abstract
We present the latest developments in the field of atomic clocks and their applications in metrology and fundamental physics. In the light of recent advents in the accuracy of optical clocks, we present an introduction to the relativistic modelization of frequency transfer and a detailed review of chronometric geodesy.
Proceedings of the Workshop "Relativistic Positioning Systems and their Scientific Applications" held in Brdo near Kranj, Slovenia, 19-21 September 2012. To appear in Acta Futura (http://www.esa.int/gsp/ACT/publications/ActaFutura/)
