Estimating subsurface water mass changes with ground-based gravimetry

Isabelle Schmidt, Jackson Ang'ong'a, Peter Bauer-Gottwein +10

Gravitational force is proportional to the mass of an attracting body; therefore, changes in subsurface mass can be detected using gravimetry. In the near subsurface, mass variatio…

The effect of wavefront aberrations in atom interferometry

Vladimir Schkolnik, Bastian Leykauf, Matthias Hauth +2

Wavefront aberrations are one of the largest uncertainty factors in present atom interferometers. We present a detailed numerical and experimental analysis of this effect based on…
