The kilogram: inertial or gravitational mass?
Giovanni Mana, Stephan Schlamminger
With the redefinition of the international system of units, the value of the Planck constant was fixed, similarly to the values of the unperturbed ground state hyperfine transition…
Defocused travelling-fringes in scanning triple-Laue x-ray interferometry
Carlo P. Sasso, Giovanni Mana, Enrico Massa
The measurement of the silicon lattice parameter by a separate-crystal triple-Laue x-ray interferometer is a key step for the kilogram realisation by counting atoms. Since the meas…
Measurement of the miscut angle in the determination of the Si lattice parameter
Carlo P. Sasso, Giovanni Mana, Enrico Massa
The measurement of the angle between the interferometer front mirror and the diffracting planes is a critical aspect of the Si lattice-parameter measurement by combined x-ray and o…
Model selection in the average of inconsistent data: an analysis of the measured Planck-constant values
Giovanni Mana, Enrico Massa, Maria Predescu
When the data do not conform to the hypothesis of a known sampling-variance, the fitting of a constant to a set of measured values is a long debated problem. Given the data, fittin…
Wavefront errors in a two-beam interferometer
G Mana, E Massa, C P Sasso
The paper deals with the impact of wavefront errors, due to the optical aberrations of a two-beam interferometer, on the period of the travelling fringe observed by integrating the…
Coupling of wavefront errors and pointing jitter in the LISA interferometer: misalignments of the interfering wavefronts
C P Sasso, G Mana, S Mottini
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna is a foreseen space-based gravitational wave detector, which aims to detect 10^20 strains in the frequency range from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz. It is…
