Towards the formation of a positronium coherent beam

M. Sacerdoti, V. Toso, G. Vinelli +5

Positronium (Ps) has emerged as a promising test particle within the QUPLAS collaboration for investigating the gravitational effect. In this work, we present a novel approach to g…

New apparatus design for high-precision measurement ofG with atom interferometry

M. Jain, G. M. Tino, L. Cacciapuoti +1

We propose a new scheme for an improved determination of the Newtonian gravitational constant G and evaluate it by numerical simulations. Cold atoms in free fall are probed by atom…

Measuring the gravitational acceleration with precision matter-wave velocimetry

G. D'Amico, L. Cacciapuoti, M. Jain +2

One of the major limitations of atomic gravimeters is represented by the vibration noise of the measurement platform, which cannot be distinguished from the relevant acceleration s…

Quantum test of the equivalence principle for atoms in superpositions of internal energy eigenstates

G. Rosi, G. D'Amico, L. Cacciapuoti +5

The Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) has a central role in the understanding of gravity and space-time. In its weak form, or Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), it directly impli…

Measurement of the Gravity-Field Curvature by Atom Interferometry

G. Rosi, L. Cacciapuoti, F. Sorrentino +3

We present the first direct measurement of the gravity-field curvature based on three conjugated atom interferometers. Three atomic clouds launched in the vertical direction are si…

Precision Measurement of the Newtonian Gravitational Constant Using Cold Atoms

G. Rosi, F. Sorrentino, L. Cacciapuoti +2

About 300 experiments have tried to determine the value of the Newtonian gravitational constant, G, so far, but large discrepancies in the results have made it impossible to know i…

Sensitivity limits of a Raman atom interferometer as a gravity gradiometer

F. Sorrentino, Q. Bodart, L. Cacciapuoti +5

We evaluate the sensitivity of a dual cloud atom interferometer to the measurement of vertical gravity gradient. We study the influence of most relevant experimental parameters on…
