Dark Energy Search by Atom Interferometry in the Einstein-Elevator
Charles Garcion, Sukhjovan S. Gill, Magdalena Misslisch +13
The DESIRE project aims to test chameleon field theories as potential candidates for dark energy. The chameleon field is a light scalar field that is subject to screening mechanism…
A Dual-Species Atom Interferometer Payload for Operation on Sounding Rockets
Michael Elsen, Baptist Piest, Fabian Adam +36
We report on the design and the construction of a sounding rocket payload capable of performing atom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates of K and Rb. The ap…
Ultracold atom interferometry in space
Maike D. Lachmann, Holger Ahlers, Dennis Becker +21
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne matter-wave interferometry. Indeed, BECs enjoy a slowly expanding wave function, display…
The Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory
Kai Frye, Sven Abend, Wolfgang Bartosch +48
Microgravity eases several constraints limiting experiments with ultracold and condensed atoms on ground. It enables extended times of flight without suspension and eliminates the…
Space-borne Bose-Einstein condensation for precision interferometry
Dennis Becker, Maike D. Lachmann, Stephan T. Seidel +32
Space offers virtually unlimited free-fall in gravity. Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) enables ineffable low kinetic energies corresponding to pico- or even femtokelvins. The comb…
Miniaturized lab system for future cold atom experiments in microgravity
Sascha Kulas, Christian Vogt, Andreas Resch +18
We present the technical realization of a compact system for performing experiments with cold and atoms in microgravity in the future. The whol…
